Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart
Composer(s): Lamont Dozier - Brian Holland - Eddie Holland
First release by: The Supremes - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



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 you're 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 rocking and reeling
And I can't shake the feeling

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 ...

Over time, I've building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I've gone much too far for you now to say
That I've got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I've been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to discover
I've come much too far for me now to find
The love that I've sought can never be mine

And though you don't believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know for in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you

Love is like a violin
With it's strings around your heart
Soft and sweet when dreams begin
Sadly crying when you part

Make my heart your violin
Lay in now and tell me this
In the music of a kiss

Oh, oh, oh, miss Ann, you're doin' something no-one can
Yeah, yeah, yeah, miss Ann, you're doin' something no-one can

I wanna hear, hear, hear miss Ann, I wanna hear her call my name
I wanna hear, hear, hear miss Ann, I wanna hear her call my name
Because she keep callin' loud, but she calls it so sweet and so plain

Well, I told miss Ann once, and I told miss Ann twice
Yes, I told miss Ann once, and I told miss Ann twice
Boys, when I'm with miss Ann, I'm livin' in paradise

If she thinks I'm gonna let her be free, how wrong can miss Ann be
If she thinks I'm gonna let her be free, how wrong can miss Ann be

Love is Like a Rock
You can't depend on your teacher
You can't depend on your preacher

Love is like a rock

Miss America 
Composer(s): J. Kelly
Performer(s): Mark Lindsay



As a young girl she ran wild
freely gave herself to me who understood
She lay naked in the sun 
giving birth to what was clear and strong and good
Oh Lord to hear her laugh was to know a joy that drove us all insane
And she'd lead you down a path through her river valleys etched in summer rain

Do you Miss America
Miss America
Miss America, I know I do

She was offered jewels and fame and she wore the furs of souls who once she loved
She was driven to the site of a marble grave where lay a dyin' dove
Rage exploded 'cross her face and make up melted on the cemetary lawn
And she cried for an embrace and she wrapped her fingers 'round the deep rose dawn

Do you Miss America
Miss America
Miss America, I know I do

I've seen her in the forest and she's singin' peaceful songs for you and me
And I've heard her in the hills and I'm glad to say she's still alive and free
Oh Lord her lovin' eyes cating ripples 'neath the sun without a sound
And she mirrors clear in sky as her children dance along the rain washed ground

Do you Miss America
Miss America
Miss America, I know I do

Do you Miss America
Miss America
Miss America, I know I do

Do you Miss America
Miss America
Miss America, I know I do

Love Is Like A Big Brass Band
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
Performer(s): Joni Mitchell



For our first time together I wanted everything to be just right
I prayed for good weather
For we were going to a concert in the park that night
I wanted violins and sweet romantic melodies

But when the band began to play
It didn't turn out quite that way
For there were trumpets and trombones making sad sounds and glad tones
And notes that I will never understand
And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos
Now you know and I know love is like a big brass band

We wasted no time now, we planned a wedding for the first of June
Hear the wedding bells chime now
And see the folks all watching for the bridge and groom
Waiting for violins and sweet romantic melodies

But when we started down the aisle
You should have seen the preacher smile
For there were trumpets and trombones making sad sounds and glad tones
And notes that I will never understand
And there were tin horns and oboes and saxophone solos
Now I know and you know love is like a big brass band

Miss Amanda Jones
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Originally performed by: The Rolling Stones
Covered by: The Flamin' Groovies; March Violets



Down and down she goes
Our, Amanda Jones
I said down and down and down and down
She'd look really lovely at home
'Til somebody gonna come up and ask her
To live happily ever after, Miss Amanda Jones

On and on she goes
Little Miss Amanda Jones
I said on and on and on and on
Just watch her as she grow
Don't wanna say it very obviously
But she's losing her nobility, Miss Amanda Jones

Hey girl don't you realize
The money invested in you
Hey girl you just got to find
Someone who'll really pull your family through

Up and up she goes
Our amanda jones
I said up and up and up and up
She looks quite delightfully stoned
She's the darling of the discotheque crowd
Of her lineage she's rightfully proud, miss amanda jones 

Hey girl with your nonsense nose
All pointing right down at the floor
Hey girl your suspender shows
And the girl behind you looks a bit unsure

Round and round she goes
The world of amanda jones
I said round and round and round and round
The balls and the dinners and show
The little girl she just wanders about
'Til it's time for her coming out, miss amanda jones

Round and round and round
Round and round and round....

Over Under Sideways Down

Jim McCarty; Keith Relf; Paul Samwell-Smith
Performer(s): The Yardbirds;
and various other artists



Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age
laughing joking drinking smoking
till I've spent my wage
When I was young people spoke of immorality
all the things they said
were wrong are what I want to be
Over under sideways down
Hey, backwards forwards square and 'round
Over under sideways down
Hey, backwards forwards square and round
When will it end, when will it end
Hey! Hey!
I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity
think I'll go and have some fun 'cos it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
seems it's better done
than argued with somebody else
Over under sideways down
Hey, backwards forwards square and round
Over under sideways down
Hey, backwards forwards square and round
When will it end, when will it end
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Over under sideways down...

Love Is Life
Composer(s): Erroll Brown - Tony Wilson
Performer(s): Hot Chocolate



I have seen the way the earth takes a seed
And with care, gives us a flower, a tree
Or something on which you can feed
That is love, love is life, love, I love you

I will see the day when men will come together
Every blind man will use his eyes to see
There will come a day, I know, 'cause I'm a believer
And love will find a way

Every man will sing, love, I love you
Hear sweat voices ring, love, I love you
Together we will sing, love, I love you

I have seen the way God's earth lives for the sun
Welcome, sun, shine on him, on me, on life, on everyone
That is love, love is life, love, I love you

I will see the day when men will come together
Every blind man will use his eyes to see
There will come a day, I know, 'cause I'm a believer
And love will find a way

Every man will sing, love, I love you
Hear sweat voices ring, love, I love you
Together we will sing, love, I love you
Yeah, yeah

Misogynie À Part
Italian Title: Lei Mi Rompe
Composer(s): Georges Brassens
Originally performed by: Georges Brassens



Misogynie à part, le sage avait raison
Il y a les emmerdant's, on en trouve à foison
En foule elles se pressent
Il y a les emmerdeus's, un peu plus raffinées
Et puis, très nettement au-dessus du panier
Y a les emmerderesses

La mienne, à elle seul', sur tout's surenchérit
Ell' relève à la fois des trois catégories
Véritable prodige
Emmerdante, emmerdeuse, emmerderesse itou
Elle passe, ell' dépasse, elle surpasse tout
Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je

Mon Dieu, pardonnez-moi ces propos bien amers
Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde
ell' m'emmerde, elle abuse, elle attige
Ell' m'emmerde et j'regrett' mes bell's amours avec
La p'tite enfant d'Marie que m'a soufflée l'évêque
Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je

Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde 
et m'oblige à me curer les ongles avant de confirmer son cul
Or, c'est pas callipyge
Et la charité seul' pouss' ma main résignée
Vers ce cul rabat-joie, conique, renfrogné
Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je

Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, je le répète et quand
Ell' me tape sur le ventre, elle garde ses gants
Et ça me désoblige
Outre que ça dénote un grand manque de tact
Ça n'favorise pas tellement le contact
Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je

Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, quand je tombe à genoux
Pour cetain's dévotions qui sont bien de chez nous
Et qui donn'nt le vertige
Croyant l'heure venue de chanter le credo
Elle m'ouvre tout grand son missel sur le dos
Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je

Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, à la fornication
Ell' s'emmerde, ell' s'emmerde avec ostentation
Ell' s'emmerde, vous dis-je
Au lieu de s'écrier: "Encor! Hardi! Hardi!"
Ell' déclam' du Claudel, du Claudel, j'ai bien dit
Alors ça, ça me fige

Ell' m'emmerde, ell' m'emmerde, j'admets que ce Claudel
Soit un homm' de génie, un poète immortel
J'reconnais son prestige
Mais qu'on aille chercher dedans son œuvre pie
Un aphrodisiaque, non, ça, c'est d'l'utopie
Ell' m'emmerde, vous dis-je

Over You
Composer(s): Allen Toussaint; Allen Julian Orange
Performer(s): The Neville Brothers



There'll be some slow walkin' 
Gonna be some sad talkin' 
There'll be some flowers bringin' 
Gonna be some sad singin' 
Over you, I say over you 
Over you, pretty baby 
If I ever hear you say we're through 

There'll be some long black limousines 
People peepin' from their window screens 
Parade of cars with their headlights on 
All of that will be goin' on 
Over you, I said over you 
Over you, pretty baby 
If I ever hear you say we're through 

There'll be a hole about six feet deep 
For you baby to take your sleep 
Into a pine box an' down you'll go 
Where you will stay where it's free of snow 
Over you, I said over you 
Over you, pretty baby 
If I ever hear you say we're through 

All your folks will be dressed in black 
Ride a long black Cadillac 
Yeah, baby they'll be puttin' you away 
The funeral home'll have the business that day 
Over you, I said over you 
Over you, pretty baby 
If I ever hear you say we're through 

Say I want to slay you baby, Whoa now 
Over you, pretty baby 
If I ever hear you say we're through 

Say you'll never leave me 
I say you'll never leave me 
Say I'm gonna get rid of you , baby 
If I ever hear you say we're through 

Whoa, I love you 
No tellin' what I'd do 
That's why baby 
I want to do all these things to you

Love Is Life
Composer(s): Maurice White - Donald Whitehead - Wade Flemons
Performer(s): Earth, Wind & Fire



Have you ever seen a flower 
Tryin' to bloom in a dry barren land
But then comes a sweet spring shower
Just to lend a helpin' hand
Like the love of you and I 
All at once it came alive
You brought love
And your love is life
Did you ever watch a mother 
And how tender she treats a child
And the birds in the treetops
How they protect their young from the wild
And girl your love 
It comforts me
And that's my security

You brought love
And your love is life

You brought love
And your love is life

This is the song of love
Let everyone sing along
Let everyone sing along
Give it all from the heart
Don't wait, don't wait 'til tomorrow

Someone's playing in the garden
so enticing

can't resist her
I'm a puppet which she's playin'
She's out going
but I love her so - misled 
So I'll say now
Baby
what's your claim to fame?
Got me out of bed
why'd you call my name?
What's this crazy place you wanna take me to?
Tell me
what's the price if I go with you?
In my heart
in my soul
in my love
is that the goal?
My thrill
then I will be misled
Be for real!
Thought I knew her
this lady
opportunist - misled
Always searching for adventure
why Pandora's box? 
Misled
And I don't know what I'm gonna do without love
Baby
what's your claim to fame? . ..
Won't you be for real?
I've got this feeling that it's rocking my way
But I love her just the same
just the same
ah
yes
I do

Misled - Heard you call my name
Misled - What's your claim to fame?
Misled - Took me by the hand
Misled - Said I would understand!
Misled - Been a lot of broken things
Misled - Now the world is seen
Misled - Baby

Misled - What's your claim to fame?
In my heart
in my soul
in my love

Over You
Composer(s): Jim Fuller; Jerry Fuller
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & The Union Gap



Why am I losing sleep over you? 
Reliving precious moments we knew? 
So many days have gone by 
Still I'm so lonely, and I 
Guess there's just no getting, over you 
And there's nothin' I can do 
But spend all of my time 
out of my mind 
over you

Within the prison walls of my mind 
There's still a part of you left behind 
And though it hurts, I'll get by 
Without your lovin' yet I 
Guess there's just no getting 
over you 
And there's nothin' I can do 
But spend all of my time 
out of my mind 
over you 

And I guess this just no getting 
over you 
'Cause there's nothin' I can do 
But spend all of my time 
out of my mind 
over you

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

Love is in the air 
Love is in the air, oh, oh, oh ...

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air 
Love is in the air, oh, oh, oh ...

Misery And Gin

and various other artists



Memories and drinks don't mix too well
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells
Starin' at the world through the bottom of a glass
All I see is a man who's fading fast

Toight I need that woman again
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in
Sit down beside me and say it's alright
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell

I light a lonely womans cigarette
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget
Her life story and mine are the same
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell
