I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar, from afar
I see the look on my mamma´s face
When her son´s in the corner, undone

She says that my life is over
"Oh 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 ignored her

{Refrain:}
Oh, Doctor John
What am I doing?
What am I doing wrong?
Cause I keep on trying
Something ain´t going
Something ain´t going on

Oh, Doctor 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 fallen over, undone

"Father, my life is over
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?"

{au Refrain, x2}

You say I´m a big heartbreaker
But doctor, I never hurt you
Isn´t it obvious?

{au Refrain}

{x3:}
Oh, Doctor John
Another day, another wake up
He hold on, and on, he hold on, and on, and on

{au Refrain, x2}

Oh, Doctor John {x2}
