Carol Douglas Doctor's Order Lyrics

Telephone rings… male voice: Hello?)

Hi honey, it's me
I went to see the doctor today
Cause ever since you been gone
I had a pain deep down inside
He says there's nothing really wrong with me
I'm just missing my man
So honey please come on home as soon as you can

Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me
Nothing he can do cause only you can cure me
Says in my condition love's the best physician
He's prescribed a potion full of warm emotion
Ev'ry day a lovin' spoonful to be taken
It's the only way to stop this empty heart of mine from
breakin' Won't get better til you're back again
He told me, doctor's orders'll need your lovin' arms to
hold me
Doc, and now I know there ain't no doubt about him
I'm so hooked on your love, I can't live without it
You're away but please don't treat me like a stranger
Doctor's orders say, what use for me
And I am out of danger

Please say you understand how I feel honey
I know you got a lot of things on your mind
Oh but I'm missing you so bad
Please oh please come on home

Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me…
(same as above)
