Dr John Lyrics | Mika

[Verse 1]
I look for joy in a strange place
From the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my mama’s face
When her son's in the corner, undone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
She says that my life is over
Boy, you don't know what you got till it's gone
Come put your head upon my shoulder
She gave me her hand but I ignored her

[Chorus]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Dr. John

[Verse 2]
I look for joy in a strange place
In the back of a bar
From afar
I see the look on my daddy's face
When his son's falling over, undone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Father, my life is over
I didn't know what I had now it's gone
Can I lay my head upon your shoulder?
If I fall asleep, will it be over?

[Chorus]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

[Bridge]
You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But, Doctor, I never hurt you
Isn't it obvious?

[Chorus]
Oh, Dr. John
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
‘Cause I keep on trying
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

(Another day, another break up)
Oh, Dr. John
(We hold on, and on, we hold on, and on, and on)
I keep on trying
(Another day, another wake up)
We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on, and on

Oh, Dr. John
(Another day, another break up)
(We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on, and on)
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
(Another day, another wake up)
(We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on, and on)
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on

Oh, Dr. John
(Another day, another break up)
(We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on, and on)
What am I doing
What am I doing wrong?
'Cause I keep on trying
(Another day, another wake up)
(We hold on, and on
We hold on, and on, and on)
Something ain't going
Something ain't going on
Dr. John
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Dr. John
