Dr. John

I look for joy in a strange place From the back of the bar, from afar I see the look on my mama's face When her son's in the corner, undone She says that my life is over "Boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone Come put your head upon my shoulder" She gave me her hand, but I ignored her Oh, Dr. John What am I doing, what am I doing wrong? 'Cause I keep on trying Something ain't going, something ain't going on, Dr. John I look for joy in a strange place In the back of a bar, from afar I see the look on my daddy's face When his son's fallin' over, undone Father, my life is over I didn't know what I had, now it's gone Can I lay my head upon your shoulder? If I fall asleep, will it be over? Oh, Dr. John What am I doing, what am I doing wrong? 'Cause 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? 'Cause I keep on trying Something ain't going, something ain't going on You say I'm a big heartbreaker But Doctor, I'd never hurt you Isn't it obvious?
