Doctor Of Love
Prescription for Heartache: The Doctor of Love's Diagnosis
Lyrics
There are potions and pills, that cure all kinds of ills
There exist remedies and medications for various ailments
All the aches and the pains and the flus
These address physical discomforts like pains and illnesses
And they work pretty well but from what I can tell
Despite their effectiveness, they don’t cure emotional distress
They still ain't found a cure for the blues
No remedy exists for feelings of sadness or melancholy
So if your love life is causing you grief
If your romantic life is causing you sorrow
Well I think I can offer relief
The singer believes they can provide comfort
I couldn't help but notice when you walked through that door
The singer noticed signs of a woman without love
You displayed the classic symptoms of femme sans l' amour
Describing symptoms of lacking love or affection
You need a doctor Baby, and I'm the doctor of love
The singer positions themselves as a love doctor
Made my diagnosis from that look in your eye
Diagnosed based on the person's expression
An acute lack of lovin' from a cute kinda guy
A significant absence of affection from an attractive man
You need a doctor Baby and I'm the doctor of love
Asserts themselves as the remedy for this situation
Don't have an office, got no degree
Despite lacking credentials, they claim to ensure satisfaction
But can help you child your satisfaction's guaranteed
Confident in their ability to help
I'll do all I can to ease your situation
Expresses willingness to assist through various means
From the laying on of hands to mouth to mouth resuscitation
Implies a range of physical interventions for comfort
'Scuse me if I stare but it's so hard to believe
Surprised by the situation, finding it hard to believe
Somebody up and left you with your heart on your sleeve
Reference to someone leaving the person emotionally exposed
You need a doctor Baby and I'm the doctor of love
Reiterates their role as a love doctor
Lucky thing for us that we got together
Expresses gratitude for coming together
Now tell me where it hurts so I can kiss and make it better
Willingness to comfort and heal emotional wounds
I won't tell your mama if you don't tell my pa
A playful promise to keep things discreet
But tonight I'm gonna love you 'till we both say "Ahhh.."
Commitment to providing affectionate care
Listen to me Mama, please heed my warnin'
Urges attention to their advice, offering support
Take these two arms tonight and call me in the mornin'
Metaphorically prescribes themselves as the remedy
You need a doctor Baby and I'm the doctor of love
Reasserts their role as a love doctor
Ya know what? I don't play piano and I don't play no horn
Claims expertise in love matters despite not being a musician
But I've been playin' doctor since before you were born
Highlights their experience in providing love care
You need a doctor Baby and I'm the doctor of love
Reiterates their role as a love doctor
