One More Reason
Dr. Doctor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me one more shot bartender, just before I go
Well, give me one more shot bartender, just before I go
I have had my fun and I don't feel well no more

Well, give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot

Well, give me one more shot and I'll knock my own self out
Well, if I'm going down let me go down playing my part
If I'm going down let me go down playing my part
If I have me one more shot I will knock my own self out
Hey bartender, where have you been?
I need a shot of whiskey and I need a shot of gin
Just give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Well, give me one more shot and I'll knock my own self out

Hey bartender, where have you been?
I need a shot of whiskey and I need a shot of gin
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot, and I will knock my own self out

Hey, give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot




Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot, and I'll knock my own self out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dr. Doctor's song "One More Reason" tell the story of a man who is at the end of his rope and just wants one more drink before he goes. He has had his fill of fun but now feels unwell and is ready to knock himself out with one final shot. He begs the bartender to give him one more shot of whiskey and one more shot of gin, promising that he will go down playing his part. The repetition of the phrase "give me one more shot" throughout the song emphasizes the man's desperation and the extent to which he is willing to go to numb his pain.


The underlying theme of the song seems to be about addiction and the destructive power of alcohol. The man's desire for one more shot is ultimately self-destructive and could potentially lead to his downfall. The line "if I'm going down, let me go down playing my part" suggests that the man has given up on trying to change his ways and is resigned to the fact that his addiction will be his downfall.


Overall, "One More Reason" is a poignant and powerful portrayal of addiction and the lengths people will go to in order to satisfy their cravings.

Most of Eminem’s lines were basically about how Dre put faith in him and gave him a chance in a career. Without Dre there would be no Eminem.True legend

@promo2099

Not sure about that because Eminem is really talented and would still be Eminem even without Dre

@misterfancy9528

ProMo have you heard rock bottom?
Dre risked his career for Eminem
If he didn’t he would be a guy with a lame job

@richiepetrol1875

Matter of fact Eminem was at the verge of committing suicide
