Lyrics
Call the Doctor by Lisa and David Thurman
Verse 1:
You say you're gonna leave me baby
You're gonna walk right out the door
You say your gonna leave me baby
Never coming back for more
The wind was blowing in the cellar
The time you left me here before
Chorus:
Call the doctor baby
My heart will break
Pick up the peices of this broken fate
Give me a chance to make it up to you
Clean the slate
When you leave me no choice
I'll be crying by the side of the road
Verse 2:
You say we got no future baby
A love that couldn't we'ar the storm
You say we got no future baby
We're not a picture any more
The darkness on the terminal
Says your checking out for good
Chorus
Call the doctor baby
The monitor
Keeps getting louder every time your gone
Stop me from counting on you all the time
When you leave me no choice
I'll be crying by the side of the road
Verse 3:
You say we got a future baby
Just when I was over you
You say we got a future baby
But you never did me good
I'm not going back to you
And you never thought I would
Chorus:
Call the doctor baby
My fate has changed
The wind is blowing outside
Things are strange
Give me a chance to think it over, rearrange
When you leave me no choice
I'll be crying by the side of the road
When you leave me no choice
I'll be crying by the side of the road
