Well I had a physician,
She barely knew my name
And who'd have guessed, that flowery dress
Could bloom such a pretty face
Well I'm not one to mix up,
Where ya work and where ya play
But ya better bet, I was sick to death,
From January
Until first of May
I said,
Tear me open and stitch me shut
But doctor don't ya see
That this ol fever's gonna burn me up
If you don't attend to me
Well I listed my symptoms
But she saw, through it all
'Said "it's allergies that make you sneeze,
And the cough is just a cough
Yeah the only thing that's wrong with you,
Is too much alcohol..."
So I ran home and grabbed the phone
And I gave her another call
I said,
Tear me open and stitch me shut
But doctor don't ya see
That this ol fever's been burning me up
Since you laid hands on me
Cause I been sick, since I first saw you
And now I can barely breathe
With this ol fever just burning me up
And miss doctor you're just what I need
So would you stay with me
Aw if you're free
Would you stay with me?
Come on baby please?
Would you stay with me?
So she ran her tests and I did my best not to
Sneak a couple of peeks
But I lost my sight in those big green eyes,
And can ya really blame me
Cause that golden hair was made to wear
A wild flower threaded through
So on the first of may I asked her to stay,
And be my month of june
I said tear me open and stitch me shut
But baby don't ya see
That this 'ol fever's been burning me up
Since you laid hands on me
Cause I been sick, since I first saw you
And now I can barely breathe
With this ol fever just burning me up
Miss doctor,
You're just what I need
So would you stay with me
