Dear Doctor
The Rolling Stones

from the album BEGGARS BANQUET


Oh help me, please doctor I'm a damaged 
There's a pain where there once was a heart 
It's sleepin, its a beatin'
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar

Oh help me please mama, I'm sickening
Its today that's the day of the plunge
Oh the gal I'm to marry
Is a bow-legged sow
I've been soakin up drink like a sponge

Don't ya worry, get dressed, cried my mother 
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
Pull your socks up, put your suit on
Comb your long hair down,
For you will be wed in the hour

So help me, please doctor I'm damaged 
There's a pain where there once was a heart 
I'm, sleepin, its a beatin
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar

Oh help me, please doctor I'm damaged 
There's a pain where there once was a heart 
Its sleepin, its a beatin'
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar

I was tremblin, as I put on my jacket 
It had creases as sharp as a knife
I put the ring in my pocket
But there was a note
And my heart jumped it jumped into my mouth

It read, Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you
But I have no courage to speak to your face
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou 
There be no wedding today

So help me, please doctor I'm damaged 
You can put back my heart in its hole 
Oh mamma, I'm cryin
Tears of relief
And my pulse is now under control
