Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart

(B. Holland/L. Dozier/E. Holland, Jr.)

The love bug done bit me

Didn't mean for him to get me

Woo, get up in the morning

And I'm filled with desire

No, no, I can't stop the fire

Love is a real life wire

Ooh, it's a burning sensation

Far behind imagination

Love is like an itching in my heart

Tearing it all apart

Just an itching in my heart

And baby, I can't scratch it

Keeps me sighing, ooh

Keeps me yearning

No, mama can't help me

No, daddy can't help me

I've been bitten by the love bug

And I need some information

To help me out this situation

Now, when you're ill

You take a pill

When your thirsty

Drink your fill

What you gonna do

When love gets a hold

A hold on you

Love is like an itching in my heart

And baby, I can't scratch it

Love is a nagging irritation

Causing my heart complication

Love is a growing infection

And I don't know the correction

Got me rockin' and areelin'

And I can't shake the feelin'

Love is like an itching in my heart

Tearing it all apart

Just an itching in my heart

And baby, I can't scratch it

Keeps me sighing, ooh

Keeps me yearning

Keeps me burning

Keeps me tossing

Keeps me turning

Keeps me yearning

I've been bitten by the love bug

And I need some information

To help me out this situation

Love is a nagging irritation

Causing my heart complication

I've been bitten by the love bug...
