The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

INFO

originally by Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

(LOVE IS LIKE A) HEATWAVE

Whenever I'm with him something inside starts to burn and I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name, so slow sweet and plain
I feel a fire, I feel that burning flame

Has my blood pressure got a hold on me or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's 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

It's like a heatwave burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin', no
It's tearing me apart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah - woh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, - woh

Don't pass up this chance, this time it's a real romance
