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...
