Intro:   
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb 
Fm7  Gm7  Cm7  x2
Fm7  Gm7    Ab   Bb
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb 
 
                         Fm7        Gm7                     Cm7
Whenever I'm with him,      something in-side,
                     Fm7           Gm7           Cm7
Is still burning, and I'm filled with desire.


             Fm7      Gm7
 Could it be a devil in me,
     Ab                               Bb
or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

  
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb 
It's like a heat-wave.        Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying. It's tearing me a-part


 Whenever he calls my name; soft, low, sweet and plain.
I feel, yeah, yeah, well, I feel that burnin' flame.


Has high blood pressure got a hold on me,
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?
 

It's like a heat-wave. Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying. It's tearing me a-part

 
Interlude: 
Fm7   Gm7   Cm7  x2  (Heatwave!)
Fm7   Gm7   Ab   Bb


 
Sometimes I stare in space; tears all over my face.
I can't ex-plain it, don't under-stand it; ain't never felt like this before.

 

Now this funny feeling, got me amazed;
Don't know what to do; my head's in a haze.


It's like a heat-wave         Burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying   It's tearing me a-part
