My doctor told me sleepin' alone ain't no good for my heart If I don't do what he tells me to it just might break apart You know I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed You know I'm under doctor's orders that's what my doctor said My doctor told me to find you girl and give you a kiss on sight I'm gonna be fine but it's gonna take time and a whole lotta holding you tight You know I'm under doctor's orders... He said you don't need pills and shots won't do a transfusion would be useless too Your sweet lovin' is what I need to get my heart back on its feet You know I'm under doctor's orders... [ guitar ] He said you don't need pills and shots won't do... Oh I'm under doctor's orders... I'm under doctor's orders...
