[Verse 1]
             F          G
Whenever I'm with him,
            Am
Something inside,
          F        G
Starts to burning,
        Am
And I'm filled with desire.
F               G
Could it be the devil in me,
      F                      G
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

[Chorus]
            C
It's like a heat wave,
              C
Burning in my heart.
                C
Can't keep from crying,
                 C
It's tearing me apart.

[Verse 2]
            F              G
Whenever he calls my name,
      Am   
Soft, low, sweet and plain.
  F                 G
I feel, yeah yeah,
       Am
Well I feel that burning flame.
    F                         G
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me,
      F                      G
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

[Chorus]
            C
It's like a heat wave,
              C
Burning in my heart.
                C
Can't keep from crying,
                 C
It's tearing me apart.

[Verse 3]
            F                 G
Sometimes I stare into space,
          Am
Tears all over my face.
          F                               G
I can't explain it, don't understand it,
        Am
I ain't never felt like this before.
    F                      G
Now that funny feeling has me amazed,
        F                   G
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze.

[Chorus]
            C
It's like a heat wave,
              C
Burning in my heart.
                C
Can't keep from crying,
                 C
It's tearing me apart.

[Outro]
               F
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
     G        Am
Yeah yeah, oh oh. (heat wave)
     F         G
Yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Am 
Oh (heat wave).
F             G
Don't pass up this chance,
F             G
This time it's true romance.

Oooh, heat wave.
