Dr John
VERSE 1
I look for joy in a strange place
from the back of a bar
from afar
I see the look on my mama’s face
when her son’s in the corner undone
PRE-CHORUS 1
she says that my life is over
« boy you don’t know what you got till its
gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder »
she gave me her hand but I ignored her
CHORUS
oh Dr John
what am I doing
what am I doing wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
something ain’t going
something ain’t going on
VERSE 2
I look for joy in a strange place
in the back of a bar
from afar
I see the look of my daddy’s face
when his son’s falling over undone
PRE-CHORUS 2
father my life is over
I didn’t know what I had now its gone
can I lay my head upon your shoulder
if I fall asleep will it be over?
CHORUS
oh Dr John
what am I doing
what am I doing wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
something ain’t going
something ain’t going on
oh Dr John
what am I doing
what am I doing wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
something ain’t going
something ain’t going on
BRIDGE
they say I’m a big heart breaker
but doctor I’d never hurt ya
It isn’t that obvious?
CHORUS
oh Dr John
what am I doing
what am I doing wrong?
Cuz I keep on trying
something ain’t going
something ain’t going on
