- Dr John Lyrics

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

She says that my life is over
Oh boy you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignored her

Oh Dr. John
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 John

I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of the bar
From afar
I see the look on my Daddy's face
When his son's fallen over, undone
Well father my life is over
Well 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 John
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 John

What a I doing
What am I doing wrong

Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going, something ain't going on

They say I'm a big heartbreaker
But Dr I never hurt you

Oh Dr John
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 Break up)

Oh Dr John

I keep on trying

You're not alone
You're not alone

(Another day, another Break up)

Oh Dr John

You're not alone
You're not alone

What is the meaning behind Dr John lyrics?


When we try to understand the message behind it, the track of MIKA, "Dr. John" takes us into the fight of finding pleasure in wrong places, and the 'strange place' of a bar standing for that very fight, as well as the suffering of turning a deaf ear to parents' love and help. The entreaty to 'Dr. John' though, signifies a very needful quest for the therapist and comprehension amid the personal disaster and constant defeats. The Dr John lyrics mostly feature heartbreak, angst, despair, and solitude reflecting on one's case. Besides, the song articulates the whole range of the search for joy and meaning, parental disappointment and regret, self-reflection and confusion, and finally, heartbreak and emotional turmoil. The lyrics portray the themes of familial disappointment as well as personal struggle, which might be overwhelming for the younger audience. Moreover, the bar setting plus the references to heartbreak and emotional pain imply a more adult context, thus the PG-13 rating is justified.
