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 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, and I miss her so
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 that I want you

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
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
