Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hello?

Hi, honey, it's me

I went to see the doctor today

'Cause ever since you've been gone

I had a pain deep down inside

He says there's nothin' really wrong with me

I'm just missin' my man

So honey, please

Come on home as soon as you can

[Verse 2]

Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me

Nothing he can do 'cause only you can cure me

Says, in my condition love's the best physician

He's prescribed a potion full of warm emotion

[Verse 3]

Every day

A lovin' spoonful to be taken

It's the only thing

To stop this empty heart of mine from breaking

[Verse 4]

Won't get better till you're back again, he told me

Doctor's orders, need your lovin' arms to hold me

Darlin', now I know, there ain't no doubt about it

I'm so hooked on your love, I can't live without it

[Verse 5]

You're away (You're away)

But please, don't treat me like a stranger

'Cause doctor's orders say

One kiss from you and I am out of danger

[Verse 6]

Please, say you understand how I feel, honey

I know you got a lot of things on your mind

Oh, but I'm missin' you so bad

Please, oh, please come on home (Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 7]

Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me

Nothing he can do 'cause only you can cure me

Says, in my condition love's the best physician

He's prescribed a potion full of warm emotion
