Lyrics

[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 on the corner undone
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doin', what am I doin' wrong?
'Cause I keep on tryin'
Somethin' ain't goin'
Somethin' ain't goin' on
Dr. John
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doin', what am I doin' wrong?
'Cause I keep on tryin'
Somethin' ain't goin'
Somethin' ain't goin' on
[Verse 7]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doin', what am I doin' wrong?
'Cause I keep on tryin'
Somethin' ain't goin'
Somethin' ain't goin' on
[Verse 8]
You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Doctor, I never hurt you
Isn't it obvious
[Verse 9]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doin', what am I doin' wrong?
'Cause I keep on tryin'
Somethin' ain't goin'
Somethin' ain't goin' on
[Verse 10]
Oh, Dr. John (Another day, another break up)
(We hold on, and on, we hold on and on and on)
I keep on tryin' (Another day, another wake up)
We hold on and on
We hold on and on and on
[Verse 11]
Oh, Dr. John (Another day, another break up)
(We hold on, and on) What am I doin'
What am I doin' wrong (We hold on and on and on)
'Cause I keep on tryin' (Another day, another wake up)
(We hold on, and on) Somethin' ain't goin'
Somethin' aint' goin' on (We hold on and on and on)
[Verse 12]
Oh, Dr. John (Another day, another break up)
What am I doin' (We hold on and on)
What am I doin' wrong (We hold on and on and on)
'Cause I keep on tryin' (Another day, another wake up)
Somethin' ain't goin' (We hold on and on)
Somethin' ain't goin' on (We hold on and on and on)
[Verse 13]
Dr. John
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dr. John
