Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't want nobody always sitting around me and my man
I don't want nobody always sitting right there, looking at me and that man
Be it my mother, my brother, or my sister
Would you believe I'll get up, put on some clothes
Go out and help them find somebody for theirself if I can
Yes, I will
[Verse 2]
Now, I don't mind company
Because company's alright with me every once in a while
Yes, it is
I tell you, I don't mind company
Because company's alright with me every once in a while
Yeah
[Verse 3]
But, oh, when me and that man get to loving
I tell you, girls, I dig you, but I just don't have time
To sit and chit and sit, and chit-chat and smile
[Verse 4]
Don't send me no doctor
Filling me up with all of those pills
I got me a man named Dr. Feelgood
And, oh, yeah, that man takes care of all of my pains and my ills
[Verse 5]
His name is Dr. Feelgood in the morning
And taking care of business is really this man's game
And after one visit to Dr. Feelgood
You'll understand why Feelgood is his name
Oh, yeah, oh, good God almighty
The man sure makes me feel real good
