My doctor told me sleepin' alone ain't no good for my heart
If I don't do what he tells me to it just might break apart
You know I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed
You know I'm under doctor's orders that's what my doctor said
My doctor told me to find you girl and give you a kiss on sight
I'm gonna be fine but it's gonna take time and a whole lotta holding you tight
You know I'm under doctor's orders...
He said you don't need pills and shots won't do a transfusion would be useless too
Your sweet lovin' is what I need to get my heart back on its feet
You know I'm under doctor's orders...
[ guitar ]
He said you don't need pills and shots won't do...
Oh I'm under doctor's orders...
I'm under doctor's orders...
