ROLLING STONES

- Dear Doctor Lyrics

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

Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
It's 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, it's a beatin'
Can't ya please take 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
It's sleepin, it's 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 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 mama, I'm cryin'
Tears of relief
And my pulse is now under control

What is the meaning behind Dear Doctor lyrics?


When we try to understand the message behind it, 'Dear Doctor,' the song by The Rolling Stones, is a narrative about love that went wrong and ultimately caused the singer to look for medical and maternal support in dealing with the emotional tyrannizing of a broken marriage. The language of the lyrics employs the image of 'tear out my heart and preserve it in a jar' to describe the great emotional suffering and the sensation of being ruined by love and deceit. The overall message of Dear doctor lyrics is mainly focused on heartbreak, angst, despair, reflection, and hope. Besides that, the song also points out the role of heartbreak and loss, desperation and plea for help, and family pressure and expectations. The lyrics are about emotional distress and also contain references to alcohol consumption that could render them underage-unfriendly, i.e., unsuitable for children below 13 years old. The idea of a wedding that didn't take place and a heart that was shattered definitely makes the song more complicated and perhaps even adult-like in its themes.
