Love Is Like A Heatwave Lyrics - Essential Going Back - Phil Collins

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.) 

[Originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas] 

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 

Photos 

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
