Everyday People

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hoppin', hoppin' till I'm energized

'Cause I got something on my mind

So I-I said to my baby, leave the job early

'Cause I got a thing for you that's killin' me

You really know just how to thrill me

You lay those pretty little words on me

So I'll be the doctor, let me work on you

And then I'll prescribe the things we gonna do

The doctor's order said

Get some love

Said you've been goin' without it

Long enough, long enough

So here I am, boy, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of

I love it when you get sentimental

You can't be a no way but sweet and gentle

You know what to do when the world falls in

You give me the sweetest kind of medicine

I'm wit' you, wit' you, baby

One kiss from you would be

The world sweetest kind of surgery

So you'll be the doctor, boy, won't you be

And write up a love prescription just for me

Hang with me, baby

I spoke to the main man at that love pharmacy

So let me just tell you

Exactly what you need

I'll show you the directions

But be sure you'll read the warnin'

Try two kisses

And then call me in the mornin'

The doctor's order said

Get some love

Said you've been goin' without it

Long enough, long enough

So here I am, boy, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of

Fever, fever has got a hold on you

I see a love fever and you can hardly make it

I got fever, fever about a hundred zero two

A love fever, fever and you don't think you can take it, help

Me

Oh

It's hot

Oh, I'm burnin' with the fever

The doctor said

To get some love

And I'm so, I'm so

I'm so in love with you, baby

You know you better be listenin'

To what the doctor said

I feel better now, I don't know how

We did it, but we did

Will you keep huggin' me and workin' in me

And don't you ever quit it

So get out of bed the doctor said

'Cause you're the cure I need

For anything that's wrong with me

I'm hangin' wit' you baby

The doctor's order said

Get some love

Said you've been goin' without it

Long enough, long enough

So here I am, boy, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of

You need to hear what the doctor said

Love and get you some love

Get to my love, get to my love

Got to be love

So here I am, boy

To hook you up

And that's exactly

What I'm dreamin' of, hey, hey

The doctor's order said

Get some love

Said you've been goin' without it

Long enough, long enough

So here I am, boy, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of
