I Need A Doctor
Drum And Bass Remixers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
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.

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
