Martha And The Vandellas - Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone Lyrics
Oh yeah
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
Leave my heart alone
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
The love that left me came back haunting me
He's like the ever changin' sun that warms my heart and leaves
The love but tries to bite again
Ooh I'm falling, the same old heartaches calling
Oh yeah
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
I don't wanna love him
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
To stir my tender feelings through his words of honey
But if you wait to sleep in love, I bear it deep inside
Love bug you love and leave me sobbing and sighing
Again he'll leave me cryin'
Oh yeah
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
I'm telling you love bug, love bug, hope you fly away
Spread your little wings, leave my heart and fly away
'Cause I don't want to love a guy who truly don't love me
I don't want the heartaches that I had before
He wants me for the moment and another girl he'll see
And through long and sleepless nights
When I'm tossin' and turnin'
My heart will be burning
Oh yeah, leave my heart alone
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
I don't wanna love him
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
You know, you know that he don't love me
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)
Oh, don't give me the fever, I
(Get out of here love bug, leave my heart alone)

Martha And The Vandellas Love Bug Leave My Heart Alone Comments
Reeves was getting poor promotion at this time... this song is an indication...it should have been promoted to at least top ten, it’s so infectious!
Martha, you´re wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adore this . Bought it the week it came out and fully expected it to be a UK No 1. Sadly did not even chart could not believe it . Wonderful Martha at her best!
As a teen had same experience but in US it did chart, like you state should have been #1...
I bought this then and loved it and played it to death. love it still.
REMEMBERING SONGWRITER SYLVIA MOY (SEPTEMBER 15, 1938 - APRIL 15, 2017) [09/15/2018]
~ This + Honey Chile + Live Wire + SHE & THE Vandellas REALLY HUGE HITS = Motown Dance HEAVEN, STILL RELEVANT AND HOT AND FRESH IN 2018. Love TO OUR LIVING LEGEND: Martha Reeves. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I remember playing this 45 many times. It's still a great record!
Just like this song & countless other Motown classics being backed up by the mighty Funk Brothers was pure magic!!
On background is Martha's sister Lois and the late Sandra Tilley whom had been a Marvelette at some point.
miguel Tomlinson That’s incorrect. Roz and Betty are on background, and Sandra Tilley was a former member of The Velvelettes.
You are wrong. Rosalind Ashford and Betty Kelly are singing background on this. You can also check Wikipedia for this info. Martha's sister Lois and the Late Sandra Tilley were not yet in the group when this song was released. It was a year later that Martha in a fit of uncontrolled rage kicked Betty and then Rosalind out of the group. After that, no more hits for Martha.
The backup score by the Funk Brothers is oddly identical to some of the Tops hits..
Love bug9
nice song i liked :)
Actually she didnt die poor, she had just received a 1-2 million settlement and had just moved into a new house. Some say Berry Gordy broke down and gave her the money that she deserved... it was never really revealed where the money came from, but she didnt die a pauper.
Martha & the Vandellas are my favorite Motown group. I rushed out and bought the single of Love Bug right after hearing it on the radio. James Jamerson's bass line is just incredible.
Great song!
i second that emotion!
thanks so much! i'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Just to let u know that your version is the best one i found here.
I say Martha didnt get the credit she really deserved by Motown because Berry Gordy put in too much time promoting Diana Ross.Just look what happened to poor Florence Ballard,She stood up to him and he fired her and even made it where she got very little money by signing away her royalty rites.As u know she died very poor.
Just think,what would life be like without our music? Peace Desiree
this is why i love music so much! it has the power to trigger so many memories...
I used to love this song when i was about 14years old,i used 2 play it on the small record player that belonged 2 my older sister,when ever she left the house LOL.
