People, my heart is filled with misery
I got a bad case of love

I live in loneliness, never get no rest
Went to see a love doctor to get out of this mess
Took a look at me before he cast his spell
Shook his head, then began to yell

I said, doctor, doctor, please do something for me
I feel like a man going through the third degree
Can’t sleep at night, can’t eat a bite
Since she been gone nothing ever goes right

He said, son, I know just how you feel
You love your baby and you always will
But your wind is short, your pulse is weak
It won’t be long before you’re six feet deep

I said, doctor, doctor, please do something for me
I feel like a man going through the third degree
Can’t sleep at night, can’t eat a bite
Since she been gone nothing ever goes right
