I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar, from afar
See the look on my momma's face
When her son's in the corner, undone

She says that my life is over,
Boy, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me a hand but I ignore her

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

I look for joy in a strange place
In the back of a bar, from afar
See the look on my daddy's face
When his son's fallin' over, undone

Father, my life is over
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. Johhhhn
What am I doing?
What am I doing wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

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

You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But, Doctor, I've never hurt ya
Isn't it obvious?

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

(Another day, another breakup)
Oh, Dr. Johhhhn
(We hold on and on)
We hold on and on and on

(Another day, another wake-up)
I keep on trying
(We hold on and on)
We hold on and on and on

(Another day, another breakup)
Oh, Dr. Johhhhn
What am I doing? (We hold on and on)
What am I doing wrong? (We hold on and on and on)
'Cause I keep on trying (Another day, another wake-up)
Something ain't going (We hold on and on)
Something ain't going on (We hold on and on and on)

(Another day, another breakup)
Oh, Dr. Johhhhn
What am I doing? (We hold on and on)
What am I doing wrong? (We hold on and on and on)
'Cause I keep on trying (Another day, another wake-up)
Something ain't going (We hold on and on)
Something ain't going on (We hold on and on and on)

Dr. John
Ooooooohh
Dr. John
