Dr. John lyrics

I look for joy in a strange place

From the back of the bar

From afar

I see the look on my mama's face

When her son's in the corner, undone

She says that my life is over

"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

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong?

Cuz I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

Oh, Dr. 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 falling over, undone

Father my life is over

Well 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?

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong?

Cuz I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong?

Cuz I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

They say I'm a big heartbreaker

But Doctor, I'd never hurt ya

It isn't that obvious?

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong?

Cuz I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

(Another day, another break up)

Oh, Dr. John

(Hold on, and on, Hold on, and on)

I keep on trying

(Another day, another wake up)

We hold on, and on

We hold on, and on

Oh, Dr. John

(Another day, another wake up)

We hold on, and on

We hold on, and on

(Another day, another wake up)

(I keep on trying)

We hold on, and on

We hold on, and on

Oh, Dr. John

What am I doing

What am I doing wrong?

Cuz I keep on trying

Something ain't going

Something ain't going on

Dr. John

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Dr. John.
