Collins, Phil - (Love Is Like A) Heatwave Lyrics






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

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

  4. D.... P....

    In these days is so hard to find legends like this iconic man. Phill and Genesis! :D

  5. A.... C....

    I think there's a problem with the description of the video translated in french haha : "(Love Is Like A) Heatwave" est une couverture de l'original par Martha et le Vandellas", or "Achetez l'autobiographie de Phil "Not Dead Yet" et The Singles: une collection de tous les 45 scénaristes de Phil Collins" XDD

  6. A.... A....

    Irritating voice.

  44. G.... G....

    I have listened to this album and watched these videos dozens of times. Great sound and just like the original. Super!

    It's great when you're 15 but you have enough good taste to appreciate Phil Collins music 🙌🏼

    Y.... D....

    Agreed.

    Y.... D....

    Yas Daiana well done! When I was your age I start to listen to good stuff too. Your taste won't change . Thank god !

  49. L.... M....

    So pleased Phil is getting out and touring again, its where he needs to be and singing songs like this too

  50. A.... A....

    get your ass up and dance!!!!!!!!!

  51. E.... S....

    Phil Collins the best!!❤❤

  52. R.... P....

    Love this cover done by Phil,sounds good !!!!!

  53. A.... H....

    As someone says, he looks like he is really into this, as well as with everyone else playing, singing in this. Like his physical gestures,
    throughout the song directly taken from Motown singers and other African American performers. Yeah,
    Martha and the Vandellas did it first, but his rendition is great too.

  54. E.... S....

    Thank you for that amazing cover Phil. You always make me feel happy every time I hear it, It doesn't matter how bad was the day.

  55. G.... M....

    sounds like pro tools recording, 9 trillion edits, very white bread and honestly this is really played out..enough already...why do i need collins covers of motown songs...? no thanks...

  56. D.... G....

    can't hurry love part 2

  57. F.... D....

    You know whats one thing i don't get. How come he retired after this record. I mean, look at him throughout the video. He looks so happy. Why did he just throw it away for a while?

    F.... D....

    partly due to illness but he's back now

  58. T.... L....

    This is frankly sad. Completely pointless. His voice sounds worse than ever. Doesn't work. An unfortunate coda to an incredible, peerless career.

    T.... L....

    @Saulo León This version wouldn't pass muster on "The Voice", "The X Factor", "Britain's Got Talent", "Eurovision Song Quest", and so on. Let alone make its way onto an album by one of the world's most prominent singer-songwriters of the popular ear. It's supremely lightweight, poorly performed, poorly produced. A disaster and tough to swallow for long-term fans like myself.

    T.... L....

    @Israel Did 9/11 I'm a long-term fan like you, I grew up with his music and this album is so fucking awesome

    T.... L....

    @Saulo León Hmm...well, everybody has his own personal opinion, that's what make the world so interesting. This album to me is nothing but a late-career cash grab, a lazy, hastily-thrown together karaoke run-through of tired old standards performed with no real heart or soul. Just blah and barely worth spending money on.

  59. M.... D....

    God bless Berry Gordy for introducing us to Motown. One of my favorite genre's of music.

  60. J.... F....

    😆😆😆

  61. M.... B....

    Those are the original Funk Brothers!

  62. N.... ....

    Glad he's back with his new album!

    N.... ....

    ??? "Going Back" released in 2010 - six years ago...!!!

    N.... ....

    Sorry I didn't know 😀 thx btw

    N.... ....

    @NovAn_21 TIme is flying...6 years can go by in the blink of an eye!

  63. A.... M....

    Love it lol

  64. F.... H....

    Muito show esta música!

  65. F.... L....

    Gosto muito !...

  66. h.... e....

    Daumen nach ganz oben!!!!

  67. N.... P....

    :D Amor verdadero !

  68. M.... D....

    I cant believe how close it sounds to the original. He even managed to get surviving members of the funk brothers who played on the original version of heatwave. Phil once stated in a magazine that he wanted the songs on going back to sound like the originals. They really do. He never leaves any stone unturned at all. Holland-Dozier-Holland must be really proud of this fine musician.

    M.... D....

    The only original member of the Funk Brothers that played on the original 1963 recording is Eddie Willis . Bob Babbitt , one of the greatest bassists of all time replaced the master of all bassists James Jamerson in 1969 . Ray Monette is an original member of Rare Earth that left the group in 2003 , when Joe Messina retired . Since this recording , Bob Babbitt passed away in 2011? due to a brain tumor .

    M.... D....

    Then we have Joan Osborne version, which sounds even closer to original material.
    Strong love for almost all covers, btw

    M.... D....

    @Jean-Poutre LeMelomaneAverti I'll always love the original but Phil did a fine cover of it.

  69. S.... H....

    Great job covering a classic. No one does it like Phil!!!

  70. D.... W....

    What was the reason that this is in a lower key at roseland since these happend only a few months appart? just wasnt as easy to sing it live?

    D.... W....

    +Denton Williams probably to save his voice for further shows. everything is always easier in the studio

  71. t.... ....

    joli cover de Phil

  72. N.... R....

    love it so much (I discovered it in the movie sister act ) great :)

  73. w.... ....

    Love it

    w.... ....

    nice love it

  74. C.... ....

    I LOVE HIS VOICE . i love him

  75. G.... ....

    Best singer in the world

  76. A.... M....

    Uwielbiam

  77. M.... M....

    Ich habe schon viele Konzerte gesehen. Aber Phil Collins war das Beste. So perfekt ist keiner.

  78. P.... C....

    P.... C....

    P.... C....

    +Phil Collins I have never been to a concert. But that doesn't stop me from searching for you online. Heatwave. I remember!

    P.... C....

  82. M.... L....

  83. d.... ....

    I love how he says "Heatwave" at 2.32,  ive seen this boy in concert many times,with and without GENESIS, if hes in your hometown ever again you owe it to yourself to go,all these great musical monsters are fading fast,sad .   

  84. M.... N....

    Amooooo

  85. G.... B....

    Beautiful song. Marta Reeves & The Vandellas 1965 or Phil Collins  2010

    G.... B....

    July 4, 1963 this was #4 on Billboard's Hot 100

    G.... B....

    George Barros I was lucky enough to see Martha Reeves and the vandellas at the west cliff theatre Clacton on sea essex

  86. c.... ....

    Beautiful song... Linda música

  87. D.... C....

    Esta cancion siempre me pone de buenas. Transmite buena vibra Phil Collins

  88. V.... R....

    Love this song

  89. c.... ....

    Phil is just a monster, I think he farts musical notes.

  90. M.... O....

    I LOVE IT, GOOD MUSIC

  91. �.... �....

    I like this song...... ♥

  92. C.... P....

    Damn he;s still fine.

  93. M.... T....

    Awwwwww, he looked so happy when he made this video.

  94. �.... t....

    Shit. I’ve just come to be really green with envy of my nephew. He has actually been unattached permanently. By some cheat, he’s got a model to deeply love him in weeks. How can that be thinkable? He told me he tried the Cupid Love System (Google it!) I wish someone exquisite told me that… I’ve never witnessed him so positive. Sort of makes me sick.

  95. R.... R....

    The Great Legend !!!

  96. M.... ....

    cool horns.

  97. D.... ....

    He seems to understand english perfectly?
