Martha & The Vandellas 
Linda Rondstadt 


Whenever I'm with him 
Something inside 
Starts to burnin' 
And I'm filled with desire 

Could it be the devil in me 
Or is this the way love's supposed to be 

Just like a heatwave 
Burning in my heart 
Can't keep from cryin' 
It's tearing me apart 

Whenever he calls my name 
So slow, sweet and plain 
I feel, yeah, yeah, 
Well I feel that burning flame 

Has my blood pressure got a hold on me 
Or is this the way love's supposed to be 

Just like a heatwave 
Burning in my heart 
Can't keep from cryin' 
It's tearing me apart 

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 

But that doesn't mean it has me amazed 
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze 

Just like a heatwave 
Burning in my heart 
Can't keep from cryin' 
It's tearing me apart 

Don't pass up this chance 
This time it's a true romance 

Heatwave
