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 real live wire,
Oo, it's a burning sensation,
Far beyond 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, oo
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
o help me out of this situation,
Now, when you're ill you take a pill,
When you're thirsty, drink your fill,
What you gonna do, oh yeah,
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 rocking and a-reeling,
And I can't shake the feeling.
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.
