( Love Is Like A ) HEATWAVE
Words & Music : Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier & Brian Holland ( 1963 )

Whenever I'm with him, somethin' inside
Starts to burnin', and I'm filled with desire.
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

It's like a heat wave,
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart.

Whenever he calls my name, sounds slow, sweet and plain,
Right here, right there, I feel the burnin' flame.
There's a hot lookin' dresser got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

It's like a heat wave,
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin',
It's tearin' me apart.

Sometimes I stare into space, tears all over my face
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I ain't never felt like this before.
Now that funny feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do my heads in a haze

It's like a heat wave
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh oh oh.
