I Don’t Need No Doctor (live) Lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
Yes I do, all I need is my baby
You don't know I'm in misery

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

[Verse 2]
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tells me that

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

[Verse 2]
I don't need no doctor
My prescription tell me that

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

[Verse 1]
All I need is my baby
Get back home, care for all my needs

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

[Bridge 1]
Well, the doctor said I need rest
He put me on the critical list
Keeping me safe from harm
All I need is her sweet charm

He gave me a medicated lotion
That wouldn't do, ooh yeah
My emotion, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

Come on, hey
How do you feel?

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I don't need (No doctor)
I don't need (No doctor)
Yeah yeah yeah (No doctor)
Yeah yeah yeah (No doctor)

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor, yeah yeah
I don't need no doctor, yeah yeah
I don't need no doctor

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor

[Bridge 2]
Had a good time
Had a good time
Had a good time
Had a good time
Had a good time
Had a good time, yeah yeah
I sure feel good
I sure feel good
I don't need no doctor

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need it
I don't, I don't need it

[Chorus]
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need no doctor
I don't need
