(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...
