Dear Doctor Lyrics

    (m. jagger/k. 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 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, it's a beatin'
    Can't ya 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 ya 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 file:///a|/banquet.html
    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 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
