Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa Heatwave Heatwave
Whenever I'm with him (ooooooo oooooooo oooooo oooooo oooooo)
Something inside (something inside)
Starts to burning (ooooooo oooooooo oooooo oooooo oooooo)
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
Or is this the way love's supposed to be (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
Like a heatwave
Burning in my heart (heatwave)
Can't keep from cryin' (heatwave)
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, I feel, I feel that burning flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold of me (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
Or is this the way love's supposed to be (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
Like a heatwave (heatwave)
Burning in my heart (heatwave)
Can't keep from cryin' (heatwave)
It's tearing me apart
Ooooooooooooooooo aaaaaaah heatwave
Ooooooooooooooooo aaaaaaah heatwave
Aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa
Sometimes I stare in 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 doesn't mean it has me amazed (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
It's like a heatwave (heatwave)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (oh yeah)
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Aaaaaaaa heatwave
Yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Aaaaaaaa heatwave
I feel it burning (don't pass up this chance)
Right here in my heart (this time it's a true romance)
It's like a heatwave.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (burning burning burning)
Oooooohoooooo (burning burning burning)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (burning burning burning)
Oooooohoooooo (burning burning burning)
Don't you know it's like a heatwave (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
Burning right here in my heart (aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa)
It's like a heatwave
