Martha and the Vandellas

Heatwave

Dm Em, Am (x3)
Dm Em, F G
Verse 1:
Whenever,
I'm with him,
Something in-side.
Is still burning,
And I'm filled with desire.
Bridge 1:
Could it be,
A devil in me?
Or is this the way,
Love's sup-posed to be?
Chorus 1:
It's like a heatwave,
Burning in my heart.
I can't keep from crying,
Tearing me apart.
Verse 2:
Whenever he,
Calls my name,
Sounds soft, sweet and plain.
Right then,
Right then,
I feel this burning pain.
Bridge 2:
Has this high blood pressure,
Got a hold on me?
Or is this the way,
Love's sup-posed to be?
Chorus 2:
It's like a heatwave,
Burning in my heart.
I can't keep from crying,
Tearing me apart.
Interlude:
Dm Em, Am (x3)
Dm Em, F G
Verse 3:
Sometimes,
I stare in space,
Tears all,
Tears all over my face.
I can't ex-plain it,
Don't under-stand it,
Ain't never felt,
Like this before.
Bridge 3:
Now this funny feeling,
Got me amazed,
Don't know what to do;
My head's in a haze.
Chorus 3:
It's like a heatwave.
