DEAR DOCTOR
(Jagger/Richards)
oh help me please doctor I'm damaged
there's a pain where there once was a heart
it's sleepin it's a beatin'
can't ya please tear it out
and preserve it right there in that jar?
oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
it's 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 you 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 it's a beatin'
can't you please take it out and preserve it
right there in that jar?
oh help me please doctor I'm damaged
there's a pain where there once was a heart
it's sleepin it's a beatin'
can't youa please tear it out and preserve it
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 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'll be no wedding today"
so help me please doctor I'm damaged
you can put back my heart in its hole
oh mama I'm cryin' tears of relief
and my pulse is now under control
