I don't need no doctor Because I know what's ailing me I don't need no doctor Because I know what's ailing me I've been too long away from my baby, yeah I'm coming down with a misery I don't need no doctor For my prescription to be filled I don't need no doctor I don't need no doctor I don't need no doctor For my prescription to be filled Only my baby's arms could ever Could ever take away this chill Now the doctor says I need rest But all I need is her tenderness She gave me a medicated lotion But it didn't soothe my emotion, yeah I said baby, baby, please! And she got down on her knees I don't need no doctor For my hope to live is gone All I need is my baby, please! Won't you please just come on home? I don't need no doctor Because I know what's ailing me I don't need no doctor Because I know what's ailing me I don't need no doctor
