Michael Penn Seen The Doctor Lyrics

I loved a girl once
beyond compare
She saw inside me
and gave me air
She was assisting
my surgery
My heart was opened
as she put a mask on me
I'm breathing
but it's become a chore
"Now that you've seen the doctor
don't call me anymore"

I was impatient
I was not in full arrest
and the symptoms were induced by something
I could not digest
She'd said a mouthful
I'd swallowed whole
My heart starts beating
a capriole,
a murmur,
too different to ignore
"Now that you've seen the doctor
don't call me anymore"

I underwent and it smelled
of a wild goose chase
Then I saw your face
upside down

He comes in creeping
He is a creep
a samurai
It's not fair peeking
(that is a lie)
Mermaid on Pico
lifts her fin,
demands a towel
And thinking of you
is not avowal
And over
and over it I pour
"Now that you've seen the doctor
don't call me anymore"

I'm breathing
but it's become a chore
Now that I've seen the doctor
You're just a f*cking bore
like Dorothy Lamour
dolled up in Singapore
to meet the Commodores
Don't call me anymore
