You told me the sunshine Was bound to revive me You told me the cool breeze Was gonna bring me around But something is breaking And moving inside me And something inside me Is tearing me down Oh, doctor, doctor You didn't give me no warning You didn't help me get ready Now anybody can see And I can't stand the pity And the sorrowful glances They all know my body Is quitting on me Oh, doctor, doctor Don't let me just lie here Don't let me just wait here 'Cause the waitin's too slow Oh, doctor, doctor Please show me some mercy I'm tired of waiting Please let me go I want to open my window I want to feel the sunshine Listen to children Go hurrying past See the beautiful blackbird Settle down in the chestnut It's a beautiful sunset And I hope it's my last Oh, doctor, doctor Don't let me just lie here Don't let me just wait here 'Cause the waitin's too slow Oh, doctor, doctor Please show me some mercy I'm tired of waiting Please let me go Oh, doctor, doctor Don't let me just lie here Don't let me just wait here 'Cause the waitin's too slow Oh, doctor, doctor Please show me some mercy I'm tired of waiting Please let me go
