Dear Doctor (Jagger/Richards)
Oh help me, please doctor I'm a damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart It's sleepin, its a beatin' Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it Right there in that jar?
Oh help me please mama, I'm sickning Its today that's the day of the plunge Oh the gal I'm to marry Is a bow-legged sow I've been soakin up drink like a sponge
"Don't ya worry, get dressed", cried my mother As she plied me with bourbon so sour Pull your socks up, put your suit on comb your long hair down, for you will be wed in the hour
So help me, please doctor I'm damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart I'm, sleepin, its a beatin Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it Right there in that jar?
Ohh help me, please doctor I'm damaged There's a pain where there once was a heart Its sleepin, its a beatin' Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve Right there in that jar?
I was tremblin, as I put on my jacket It had creases as sharp as a knife I put the ring in my pocket But there was a note And my heart jumped it jumped into my mouth
It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you. But I have no courage to speak to your face. But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou There be no wedding today"
So help me, please doctor I'm damaged You can put back my heart in its hole Oh mamma, I'm cryin Tears of relief And my pulse is now under control
