Dr. John

Mika

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? 
Cuz I keep on trying 
Something ain't going 
Something ain't going on 
Oh, Dr. John 

I look for joy in a strange place 
From 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 
Well 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? 
Cuz 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? 
Cuz I keep on trying 
Something ain't going 
Something ain't going on 

They say I'm a big heartbreaker 
But Doctor, I'd never hurt ya 
It isn't that obvious? (hmmm) 

Oh, Dr. John 
What am I doing 
What am I doing I wrong? 

Cuz I keep on trying 
Something ain't going 
Something ain't going on 

(Another day, another break up) 
Oh, Dr. John 
(Hold on, and on, 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 wake up) 

We hold on, and on 
We hold on, and on 
(Another day, another wake up) 

(I keep on trying) 
We hold on, and on 
We hold on, and on 

Oh, Dr. John 
What am I doing 
What am I doing wrong? 
Cuz I keep on trying 
Something ain't going 
Something ain't going on 

Dr. John 

Ooh, ooh, ooh 

Dr. John.
