Dr. John

I look for joy in a strange place
from the back of a bar
from afar
See the look on my momma's face
when her son's in the corner undone.

She says that my life is over
Boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignore her.

oh Dr. Johhhhhhn
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying...
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
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
Father my life is over
Oh 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. Johhhhhhn
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Dr John
oh Dr. Johhhhhhn
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong
Cause I Keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Dr John.

You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But doctor I never hurt you(?)
chorus again and again.
....

....what am I doing wrong...

oooooooooo Dr John.

another day, another break-up
we hold on and on we hold on and on and on.
