Heatwave was written by Motown's superhit songwriting team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland Jr. It was originally recorded by The Supremes but was a huge hit for Martha & The Vandellas. I much prefer The Supremes' version.
No matter how many times I listen to it, this song stirs me incredibly, especially the, "Sometimes I stare in space, tears all over my face," bit.
Yes, this song is perfect. Almost better than The Beach Boys' God Only Knows.
Heatwave
Whenever I’m with him
Something inside
starts to burnin’
And I’m filled with desire
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?
It’s like a heat wave
Burnin’ in my heart
I can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearin’ me apart
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, right there I feel that burnin’ flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?
It’s like a heat wave
Burnin’ in my heart
I can’t keep from cryin’
It’s tearin’ 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
Now this funny feelin’ has me amazed
I don’t know what to do
My head’s in a haze
It’s like a heat wave
I feel it Burnin’,
right here in my heart
It’s like a heat wave
