J.j. Cale - Doctor Told Me lyrics

rate me

Well my heart ain't in it

My mind is blank

Can't seem to function

Can't seem to think

Doctor told me cure your ills

Get yourself a woman boy that'll pay your bills

Have her clean your house, make your bed

Rub your bottom down, hold your head

Get yourself a lover, a friend and a wife

Get yourself a woman boy, get yourself a life

Doctor told me

Doctor told me

Doctor told me get yourself a life

Well, I got out on the street and I looked around

here come a woman, she was fine and brown

I said "Come here baby, my name is Bob

I'm a long, tall lover, but I ain't got no job"

Doctor told me (I told her)

Doctor told me

Doctor told me get yourself a life

Well she looked at me with a sparkle in her eye

Told me I was crazy, told me I was high

"Get outta here", she said, "or I'll cut you with my knife"

You better be gone boy, get yourself a life

Doctor told me

Doctor told me (I told her)

Doctor told me get yourself a life

Here I'm standin' 'round a lonesome old house

Ain't got nobody, ain't got no spouse

I sure feel bad, i sure feel blue

One thing I sure feel, I'm sure needin' you

Doctor told me

Doctor told me

Doctor told me get yourself a life
