Dear Doctor Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged

2 There's a pain where there once was a heart

3 It's sleepin, it's a-beatin'

4 Can't ya please tear it out and preserve it

5 Right there in that jar?

6 Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning

7 It's today that's the day of the plunge

8 Oh the gal I'm to marry

9 Is a bow-legged sow

10 I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

11 "Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother

12 As she plied me with bourbon so sour

13 Pull your socks up, put your suit on

14 Comb your long hair down

15 For you will be wed in the hour

16 So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged

17 There's a pain where there once was a heart

18 I'm sleepin, it's beatin'

19 Can't ya please take it out and preserve it

20 Right there in that jar? Yep

21 Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged

22 There's a pain where there once was a heart

23 It's sleepin, it's a-beatin'

24 Can't ya please tear it out and preserve it

25 Right there in that jar?

26 I was tremblin' as I put on my jacket

27 It had creases as sharp as a knife

28 I put the ring in my pocket

29 But there was a note

30 And my heart, it jumped into my mouth

31 It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.

32 But I have no courage to speak to your face.

33 But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou.

34 There be no wedding today."

35 So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged

36 You can put back my heart in its hole

37 Oh mama, I'm cryin'

38 Tears of relief

39 And my pulse is now under control
