Come on
Lady, do you feel okay?
'Cause your heart'll race, hard to sleep, get away

Need something to ease the pain
You can count on me for a fee, I'll happily take it away
You're gonna need, need a real good doctor
(Call the doc) Good doctor
Doctor me, your doctor who
Your doctor you (call the doc, said you're gonna call the doc)
Whenever you feel the fever burnin' hotter
(Call the doc) So hot
Doctor me, your doctor who
Your doctor you (call the doc, said you're gonna call the doc)
I think I've seen this before
You're stayin' awake, you're losin' sleep
You're gonna be back at my door
Once you start, you just want more
My medicine is a remedy, just come to me
Your private drugstore, yeah
You're gonna need, need a real good doctor
(Call the doc) Good doctor

Whenever you feel the fever burnin' hotter

Doctor me, your doctor who
