Paying too much in tax

Hi

I am 60 years old and retired. I have a question.  I find that I need to withdrawal money each year from my IRA to pay taxes of the money that I with-drawled last year to pay my taxes.  I believe that I am paying taxes on money I with-drawled to pay taxes the year before.  This is a viscous cycle.  that go on year after year.  Am I doing something wrong?  or is this really how it works.  I need to withdrawal more money again this year to pay for the money I withdrew last year to pay my taxes.  Seems like a ripoff.  Any help or thoughts would be very much appreciated.  Thank You..
