J. J. Cale: "Doctor Told Me" Lyrics

Well my heart aint in it

My mind is blank

Cant seem to function

Cant seem to think

Doctor told me cure your ills

Get yourself a woman boy thatll 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

Im a long, tall lover, but I aint 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 Ill 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 Im standin round a lonesome old house

Aint got nobody, aint got no spouse

I sure fell bad, I sure feel blue

One thing I sure feel, Im sure needin you

Doctor told me

Doctor told me

Doctor told me get yourself a life
