Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart
The Good Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Love bug done bit me
Didn′t mean for him to get me
Get up in the morning and I'm filling with desire
No no I can′t stop the fire
Love is a real live wire
It's a burning sensation
Love beyond all imagination
Love is like an itching in my heart tearing all apart
Just an itching in my heart and
Baby, I can't scratch it
Keeps me sighing
Keeps me yearning
Keeps me burning
No mom a 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 on the situation
Now when your ill you take a pill
And when your thirsty drink your fill
What you gonna do oh yeah
When love got a hold a hold on you′
Love is like an itching in my heart and Baby, I can't scratch it

Now theirs a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication
Love is growing infection and
I don′t know the correction
Got me rockin and reelin
And I can't shake the feeling
Love is like an itching in my heart
Tearing all apart just an itching in my heart
Baby I can′t scratch it
Keeps me sighing
Keeps me yearning
Keeps me burning
Keeps me tossing
Keeps me turning
Kiss me yearning
I've been bitten by the love bug
And I need some information
To help me on the situation
Theirs a nagging irritation
Causing my heart complication
I've been bitten by the love bug
And I need some information




To help me on the situation
Theirs a nagging irritating

The Good Girls' "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" is an entertaining, up-tempo song that describes the overwhelming sensations brought about by falling in love. The opening lines suggest that the singer didn't intend to fall in love but found herself bitten by the "love bug," which has left her with a relentless desire that she can't seem to control. The lyrics use an analogy of an itch to describe the way it feels, saying that love is like an itching in her heart that's tearing her apart, keeping her yearning, burning, tossing, and turning. The chorus of the song reveals that despite her yearning, she can't seem to scratch the itch – meaning that she can't satisfy her desire.


Throughout the song, the singer seeks help to cure her "love itch."

The lyrics suggest that the more she tries to shake off the feeling, the more it intensifies, and she's been left with a constant, nagging irritation. In conclusion, the song's lyrics explore the inescapable force of love's effect on us, leaving us yearning, burning, and restless.
