The hit single "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart" was recorded in 1966 by The Supremes for the Motown label. (Historical note: the name of the group changed in 1967 from "The Supremes" to "Diana Ross and the Supremes," signaling a desire on the part of Ross ultimately for a solo career.) The song was written and produced by Motown's main production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Lead vocals by Diana Ross; background vocals by Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson; instrumentation by The Funk Brothers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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 live wire

Ooh, it's a burning sensation

Far beyond imagination

Love is like an itchin' 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 itchin' in my heart

And baby, I can't scratch it

Love is a naggin' irritation

Causing my heart complication

Love is a growing 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 itchin' in my heart

And baby, I can't scratch it

Keeps me sighing, ooh

Keeps me cryin',

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 naggin' irritation

Causing my heart complication

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