Lyrics

Does anybody feel like singing the blues?
Alright
I don't want nobody
Always
Sittin' around me and my man
Ain't that right girls? Ain't it right?
Yes, it is
I tell ya that I don't need nobody
Not always
Sittin' right there, lookin' at me and that man
Now, be it my mother
My brother, my father or my sister
Would you believe? I get up
Put on some clothes
Go out and help me find somebody for this self, if I can
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Now, I don't mind company
I don't mind, because company's alright with me
Every once in a while
Don't get me wrong people
I really love company
'Cause company is alright with me
Every once in a great while
And oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
When me and that man get to lovin'
I love you, girl, but I don't have no time
To sit with you, and chit with you, and sit and sit and sit
Chit chattin'
Don't send me no doctor
Fill me up with all of those pills
'Cause I got me a man named Doctor Feelgood, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, yeah!
That man takes care of all my pains and ills
Call him Doctor Feelgood
Because takin' care of business
Is surely, truly this man's game
Hello, mister
And after one visit to Doctor Feelgood
You'll understand why I feel good in this pain
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Oh, good God almighty that man sure makes me feel real
Good, good
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, oh yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, yeah
It's gon' be
Yeah, it's gon' be alright
Yeah
Oh yeah
That's, that's so good I just wanna say
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah
Hmm-hmm
I got a little feel for
About things that I don't understand sometimes
Sometimes it's good, oh, hear me now, it's good
To sit back, cross your arms, cross your legs
Look on up to heaven and say
"Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah"
Even I, can I hear you say, "Yeah"?
If you understand some of what I mean, can I hear you say, "Yeah"?
Say it one more time
Oh, one more time
Yes please, feel alright
And it feel mighty, mighty nice to me right now
Oh, yes, it does, oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Come on and watch over me
Yeah
