I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me

I've been too long away from my baby
I'm coming down with misery

I don't need no doctor
For my prescription to be filled
I don't need no doctor
My prescription to be filled
Only my baby's arms
Could ever take away this chill

Well, the doctor said I need rest
But all I need is his tenderness
He put me on the critical list
When all I need is her sweet kiss
He gave me a medicated lotion
But it didn't soothe my emotion

I don't need no doctor
For my hope to live is gone
I don't need no doctor
Whoa, my hope to live is gone
All I need is my baby
Baby, please won't you come on home
