My doctor told me sleepin' alone ain't no good for my heart
If I don't do what he tells me to it just might break apart

You know I'm under doctor's orders I really ought to be in bed
You know I'm under doctor's orders that's what my doctor said

My doctor told me to find you girl and give you a kiss on sight
I'm gonna be fine but it's gonna take time and a whole lotta holding you tight

You know I'm under doctor's orders...

He said you don't need pills and shots won't do a transfusion would be useless too
Your sweet lovin' is what I need to get my heart back on its feet

You know I'm under doctor's orders...

He said you don't need pills and shots won't do...
Oh I'm under doctor's orders...
I'm under doctor's orders...
