Oh doctor, what is it that I've got?
Why am I always, why am I always in a rut?
I've spent a few days on my bed
I guess I've had the time for it

And I miss my baby
Oh, I miss her so
This ain't no time to be alone
This ain't my time to go

Is it alright to say that I need you?
Is it alright to say that I want you?
Is it alright to say that I need you?
Is it alright to say that I want you?

Oh doctor, what is it that I've got?
Why do I have no space in my gut?
I've spent a few days inside my head
I guess I've had the time for it

Oh, and I miss my baby, oh, I miss my baby
Oh, and I miss her so-ooh
Oh, this ain't no time to be alone
Oh, this ain't my time to go

Is it alright to say that I need you?
Is it alright to say that I want you?
Is it alright to say that I need you?
Is it alright to say... to say... to say that I want...
Oh doctor, do you have time for my worries
Or are you too busy at the hospice?

Oh, and I miss my baby
Oh, and I miss her so
Oh, this ain't no time to be alone
And this ain't my time to go

Is it alright to say that I need you?
And is it alright to say that... oh, to say that I want you?
