Lyrics
Woke up in the morning with a heartache in my head
Stirring up the stomach with the words that she had said
Get yourself together and try to me a man
I'm packing up the party and making other plans
I'm packing up the party and making other plans
Doctor, Doctor, I can't take no pills
She took my meds away, took away my thrills
I can't go home again, I'm begging you
Lost my hope again, what else can I do?
Play alone, play alone
I guess I sinned again and I think I might have made her cry
Someone has to tell me when I do these things and why
I'm trying hard to love her and I'm trying not to make her mad
I knew that you could help me you're the only friend I had
I knew that you could help me you're the only friend I had
Doctor, Doctor, I can't take no pills
She took my meds away, took away my thrills
I can't go home again, I'm begging you
Lost my hope again, what else can I do?
Play alone, play alone, play alone, play alone
