Lyrics

[Intro]

Well, I said to the doctor, "I don't want to go home

I think you ought to leave this drip alone"

Well, I've become accustomed to this level of attention

I have nurses I can talk to and thermometers to hold

[PreChorus]

Though I feel just a little bit better

I could feel so much better

Can't you see?

[Chorus]

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

I've become accustomed to this level of affection

I have visions I can talk to and my nightmares to behold

[PreChorus]

Though I feel just a little bit better

I could feel so much better

Can't you see

[Bridge]

That I have a good bed here?

I don't want to leave here

Just getting to know you

You don't want me to go

You don't want me to go

[Chorus]

Ah, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

I've become accustomed to this level of infection

There are catheters to cling to and my lifetime to unfold

[Outro]

Ah, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
