I was feelin' so bad
I asked my family doctor just what I had
I said, "Doctor

(Doctor)
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me
What's ailin' me?"
(Doctor )
He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yes, indeed, all you really need
(Is good lovin')
Gimme that good, good lovin'

Good lovin', baby
Baby please, squeeze me tight (squeeze me tight)
Now don't you want your baby to feel alright? (Feel alright)
