Doctor Told Me - JJ Cale

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 fell 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
