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 I wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on, oh, Dr. John
I look for joy in a strange place
In 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
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 I wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing, what am I doing I wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
You say I'm a big heart breaker
But doctor, I'd never hurt ya
Isn't it obvious?
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing, what am I doing I wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on
(Oh, Dr. John)
Another day, another break up
We hold on and on, we 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 break up
We hold on and on, we hold on and on
(What am I doing, what am I doing I wrong?)
('Cause I keep on trying)
Another day, another break up
We hold on and on, we hold on and on
(Something ain't going, something ain't going on)
(Oh, Dr. John)
Another day, another break up
We hold on and on, we hold on and on
(What am I doing, what am I doing I wrong?)
('Cause I keep on trying)
Another day, another break up
We hold on and on, we hold on and on
(Something ain't going, something ain't going on)
Dr. John
