(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...
