lyrics

Doctor, Doctor! Won’t you help me please?
I’m bending down on broken knees
I ain’t got enough to pay your fee
But I’m dyin’ to know what’s the matter with me

I got so many troubles I don’t know where to start
I’m a dead man walking with a tell-tale heart
I’m falling apart, and no one understands
I got my heart on my sleeve and my head in my hands

Life has taken a toll on this body and soul
Pretty soon I’ll be sleepin’ in a six-foot hole
Rottin’ away in the dirt and the cold
I’m gonna be long gone before I ever get old

Doctor, Doctor! Won’t you help me please?
I’m bending down on broken knees
I ain’t got enough to pay your fee
But I’m dyin’ to know what’s the matter with me

(Solo)

Oh Doctor! Doctor! I ain’t well!
My brain’s in the gutter and my body’s in hell
One foot on the ground, one foot in the grave
And there ain’t much left of my life to save

I feel the icy hands of death a-creepin’ up my spine
I know I gotta see the doctor but I ain’t got a dime
When I finally drag my body to the doc one day
You just empty out my pockets and you turn me away

I’m rap-rap-rapping on the doctor’s door
But without any dough he won’t see me no more
I know he took an oath and swore to do no harm
So why does goin’ to the doctor cost a leg and an arm?

Doctor, Doctor! Won’t you help me please?
I’m bending down on broken knees
I ain’t got enough to pay your fee
But I’m dyin’ to know what’s the matter with me

Doctor, Doctor! Won’t you help me please?
I’m bending down on broken knees
I ain’t got enough to pay your fee
But I’m dyin’ to know what’s the matter with me
