[Verse 1]
Good morning, my darling, I'm telling you this
To let you know that I'm sorry you're sick
Those tears of sorrow won't do you no good
I'd be your doctor if only I could

[Chorus]
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more

[Verse 2]
I'd swim the ocean or the deepest canal
To be with you, baby, just to make you well
No place on Earth that I wouldn't hasten to go to cool your fever
This I want you to know

[Chorus]
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more

[Verse 3]
If only the doctor would hurry and show
There's quite a few places I know we could go
I was okay but these words from you stating you're sick
Made me sick too
[Chorus]
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more

[Verse 4]
Promise me darling that you won't die
I'll get all the medicine money can buy
Stick with me baby, hold on and fight
Take a good rest
I won't prolong the flight

[Chorus]
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more
What do want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more
