The Good Girls: Love Is Like an Itching In My Heart

Sat Jan 31st 2009 by abagond

(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…

You took it back with this one!

Interesting that you picked this version, instead of the way more famous Supremes original.

Shireen Crutchfield, the lead singer, has appeared on several TV series and films since the Good Girls. She last a run on of the soaps. “Young and The Restless”, I believe.

DeMonica Santiago, another third of the trio, is married to Glenn Plummer, the actor.

Oh my goodness!!! These were my girls when I was in school. They are sooo beautiful and classy and didn’t have to wear next to nothing to be. They had such an innocent look.

The tallest one was my favorite because she was built like me and everyone said that we looked alike.lol But they are all beautiful.

They had some great songs (Your sweetness, It must be love and I need your love). I wish there was music like that today.

Good look, girls!

BTW, I’ve seen them all recently and they still look the exact same, very young.

I’ve seen the oldest one and she has not aged a day. I really need a bottle of whatever vitamins these ladies are taking.

Thanks for the updates about how they are now.

I like this version better than the one by the Supremes. Partly because I like looking at DeMonica Santiago!

I’m here by way of “Because I said so” I’m going to browse your other post. I really wasn’t interested in that movie so needless to say I didn’t go see it.

But I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Go B.

I remember being called ‘color-struck’ for saying that I liked these girls back in the day.
I liked ‘Your Sweetness’ better though.
