Well, I said to the doctor, "I don't want to go home
I think you ought to leave this drip alone."
Well, I've become accustomed to this level of attention
I have nurses I can talk to and thermometers to hold

Though I feel just a little bit better
I could feel so much better
Can't you see?

Oh, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
I've become accustomed to this level of affection
I have visions I can talk to and my nightmares to behold

Though I feel just a little bit better
I could feel so much better
Can't you see

That I have a good bed here?
I don't want to leave here
Just getting to know you
You don't want me to go
You don't want me to go

Ah, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
I've become accustomed to this level of infection
There are catheters to cling to and my lifetime to unfold

Ah, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
