Heatwave - Martha Reeves & Vandellas, help me figure out BV's!

Hey fullas

I'm in a group and we're covering this and want to do the BV's as per record.

Problem is, we can't figure out what the hell they're saying in the 2nd and third verses LOL!

Can anyone help decipher this shiz?

Here's what we got, see question marks:

Whenever I'm with him (ooh-ooh-ooh....)

Something inside (somethin inside)

Starts to burning (ooh-ooh-ooh....)

And I'm filled with desire

Could it be / the devil in me (aaah....)

Or is this the way loves supposed to be

It's like a heatwave (heatwave)

Burning in my heart (it's like a heatwave)

I can't keep from crying (it's like a heatwave)

It's tearing me apart (it's like a heatwave)

___________________________________________

Whenever he calls my name (???)

So slow sweet and plain (yeeeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Right then, right there (???)

I feel that burning flame (yeeeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah)

Had high blood pressure got a hold on me (aaah...)

I said this ain't the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heatwave (heatwave)

Burning in my heart (it's like a heatwave)

I can't keep from crying (it's like a heatwave)

It's tearing me apart (it's like a heatwave)

___________________________________________

<<HORN SOLO>>

(ooh-ooh-ooh......ooh-heatwave)

___________________________________________

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 that funny feeling has me amazed (aaah...)

Don't know what to do my head's in a haze

It's like a heatwave (heatwave)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(Well it's alright girl / go ahead girl)

(Well it's alright girl / ain't nothin but love, girl)

(don't pass up this chance)

(it sounds like a true romance)

(heatwave)

(burning burning burning / burning burning burning)

Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss...

Nevermind that last post. Listening to it now, though.

Well on this clip it sounds like they're doing something like "doo-wah-doo-wah".

Maybe that's about all it is, or maybe they couldn't tell what the original was either haha!

I have listened to it over and over and still can't get it. Maybe, that's what it is...
