MIKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my mama's face
When her son's in the corner, undone
She says that my life is over
But boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John
I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my daddy's face
When his son's fallin' over, undone
Well Father my life is over
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder?
If I fall asleep, will it be over?
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Doctor, I never hurt you
Isn't it obvious?
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
(Another day, another break up)
Oh, Dr. John
(Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on)
I keep on trying
(Another day, another wake up)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
Oh, Dr. John
(Another day, another wake up)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
(Another day, another wake up)
(I keep on trying)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

Ooh, ooh, ooh

The song "Dr. John" by Mika is about a man who looks for joy in all the wrong places and finds himself falling apart. The singer of the song goes into a bar, looking for happiness, but he finds himself in a place of despair. He sees the disappointment in his parents' faces, knowing that he has disappointed them by his reckless ways. He feels lost and helpless, wanting to seek help but not knowing how to do so.
The name "Dr. John" refers to a New Orleans-based musician who was renowned for his work in blues and rhythm and blues genres. However, in the song, "Dr. John" is used to represent someone who can offer guidance and support.

I look for joy in a strange place
I search for happiness in unfamiliar places
From the back of the bar
From the rear of the pub
From afar
I see it from a distance
I see the look on my mama's face
I notice the expression on my mother's face
When her son's in the corner, undone
When her child is in the corner, helpless
She says that my life is over
She claims that my life has ended
But boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
You don't appreciate what you have until it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
Lean your head on my shoulder
She gave me her hand, but I ignored her
She offered her hand, but I disregarded it
Oh, Dr. John
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing
What am I doing I wrong?
What am I doing incorrectly?
Cause I keep on trying
Because I persist
Something ain't going
Something is wrong
Something ain't going on
Something is out of place
I see the look on my daddy's face
I notice the expression on my father's face
When his son's falling over, undone
When his child is collapsing, helpless
Well Father my life is over
Well, father, my life has ended
Well I didn't know what I had now it's gone
I didn't realize what I had, now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder?
May I rest my head on your shoulder?
If I fall asleep, will it be over?
If I drift off to sleep, will it all end?
They say I'm a big heartbreaker
They say I cause a lot of heartache
But Doctor, I never hurt you
But doctor, I never caused you pain
Isn't it obvious?
Isn't it clear?
(Another day, another break up)
(Another day, another separation)
Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on
Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on
Another day, another wake up
Another day has begun
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on
