I Need A Doctor
Drum And Bass Remixers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a child and I like that
You're always sleeping on my doorstep
And you're such a pretty thing
And I like that

You're like a child and I like that
You're always pushing me so close to death
And it's such a stupid thing
But I like that

But you torture me
And you ruin me

[Repeat: x2]
I need a doctor
I need a doctor
You know I love you
But I wanna kill you

That night you put your lipstick on me
I felt stupid so I drank to get dizzy
And when you fell asleep
I threw a tambourine at your face

And of course I missed
'Cause I always miss
Yeah I always miss
Yeah I always miss

But you torture me
And you ruin me

[Repeat: x2]
I need a doctor
I need a doctor
You know I love you
But I wanna kill you

[Repeat: x2]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Feels so bad
Feels so bad

[Repeat: x2]
I need a doctor
I need a doctor




You know I love you
But I wanna kill you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Drum And Bass Remixers's song "I Need A Dollar" describe a complex relationship with conflicting emotions. The singer describes their lover as being like a child because they have a certain innocence and vulnerability, but also because they are immature and push the singer close to the edge of death. Despite the lover's flaws, the singer finds them physically attractive and likes their company. However, the lover also tortures and ruins the singer, causing them to wish for revenge, and this violent reaction is juxtaposed with the singer declaring their love for the lover.


The second verse of the song recounts a specific incident where the lover applied lipstick on the singer, and the singer drank to the point of getting dizzy out of embarrassment. Later, as the lover slept, the singer threw a tambourine at their face, but missed. This scene shows the singer's frustration and impotence in dealing with their lover's behavior. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the inner turmoil and conflict of the singer, who simultaneously needs a doctor (to heal their physical or emotional wounds) and wants to kill their lover (to escape the turmoil).


Overall, the lyrics portray a toxic relationship that involves both attraction and repulsion, love and hate, pleasure and pain, and childishness and maturity.


Line by Line Meaning

You're like a child and I like that
I am attracted to your innocent and childlike nature


You're always sleeping on my doorstep
You often show up unannounced and sleep on my doorstep


And you're such a pretty thing
I find you physically attractive


And I like that
I enjoy being around you


You're always pushing me so close to death
Your actions often put me in danger


And it's such a stupid thing
The things I do for you are senseless


But you torture me
You cause me a lot of pain and suffering


And you ruin me
You bring about my downfall


I need a doctor
I am desperately in need of help


You know I love you
Despite all this, I still love you


But I wanna kill you
My love for you is mixed with a desire to harm you


That night you put your lipstick on me
I recall the time you put lipstick on me


I felt stupid so I drank to get dizzy
I felt embarrassed so I drank excessively


And when you fell asleep
Afterwards, when you had fallen asleep


I threw a tambourine at your face
I threw a musical instrument at your face


And of course I missed
I missed, as I often do


'Cause I always miss
I have a habit of missing my targets


Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Vocalization with unclear meaning


Feels so bad
I feel awful about everything that has happened
