[Verse 1]
And I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me, I do
I've been too long away from my baby
I'm coming down, I'm coming down with misery

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't need no doctor, or prescriptions to be filled
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no doctor, Lord, or prescriptions to be filled
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
Oh, only my baby's arms could take away these chills
Oh, these chills

[Bridge]
Well, the doctor says I need rest
All I need is her tenderness
He put me on the critical list
When all I need is her sweet kiss
There can't be a medicated lotion
That can soothe, no no, my emotion

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Well, the doctor says I need rest
All I need is her tenderness
He put me on the critical list
When all I need is her sweet kiss
There can't be a medicated lotion
That can soothe my emotion
[Verse 3]
Well, I don't need no doctor, because my will to live is gone
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
Well, I don't need no doctor, Lord, because my will to live is gone
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
All I need is my baby
Baby please, won't you come on home
Won't you come on home
Won't you come on, come on

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no doctor, because I know what's ailing me
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
Been too long away from my baby
I'm coming down, I'm coming down with misery
Coming down with misery

[Outro]
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
I don't need no
(I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor)
