 Riff 1
 Whenever I’m with you
 Something inside
 starts burning
 And my hearts  filled with fire
Stop  this - it’s got a hold  on me
 I said this  ain’t the way it’s supposed  to be
  G (Bass plays Riff 1)
 It’s like a heatwave burning in my heart
 I can’t keep from crying
 Tearing me apart
 Riff 1
 Whenever she calls my name
 Sounds so soft  sweet and plain
 Right there,  right  then
 I feel  this burning pain
 This high  blood pressure’s got a hold  on me
 I said this  ain’t the way love’s supposed  to be
  G (Bass plays Riff 1)
 It’s like a heatwave burning in my heart
 I can’t keep from crying
 Tearing me apart
(Bass-Riff  1) Am
 yeah yeah, yeah yeah (oh Yeah)
 oh yeah  (oh Yeah)
ooooh  yeah
 oh yeah  (oh Yeah)
 oh yeah  (oh Yeah)
ooooh
 This high  blood pressure’s got a hold  on me
 I said this  ain’t the way love’s supposed  to be
  G (Bass plays Riff 1)
 It’s like a heatwave burning in my heart
 I can’t keep from crying
 Tearing me apart
 Behind the solo play the same as the verse and chorus)
 Riff 1
 Whenever I’m with you
 Something inside
 starts burning
 And my hearts  filled with fire
Something’s  got me  amazed
 Don’t know  what to do
 My head’s  in a haze
  G (Bass plays Riff 1)
 It’s like a heatwave burning in my heart
 I can’t keep from crying
 Tearing me apart
(Bass-Riff  1) Am
 yeah yeah, yeah yeah (oh Yeah)
 oh yeah  (oh Yeah)
ooooh  yeah
 oh yeah  (oh Yeah)
 oh yeah  (oh Yeah)
ooooh
 This high  blood pressure’s got a hold  on me
 I said this  ain’t the way love’s supposed  to be
   (End on )
 It’s like a heatwave
