The love bug done bit me, didn't mean for him to get me
Ooh, get up in the mornin' and I'm filled with desire
No, no, I can't stop the fire, love is a real live wire
Ooh, it's a burnin' sensation, far beyond imagination

Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearin' it all apart, just an itching in my heart
And baby, I can't scratch it, keeps me sighin', ooh
Keeps me yearnin'

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, 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 naggin' irritation, causin' my heart complication
Love is a growin' infection and I don't know the correction
Got me rockin' and a-reelin' and I can't shake the feelin'

Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearin' it all apart, just an itching in my heart
Baby, I can't scratch it, keeps me sighing, ooh
Keeps me yearnin'

Keeps me burnin', keeps me tossin'
Keeps me turnin', keeps me yearnin'

I've been bitten by the love bug and I need some information
To help me out this situation, love is a naggin' irritation
Causin' my heart complication, I've been bitten by the love bug
