Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me
Nothing he can do, 'cause only you can cure me
Says in my condition love's the best physician

He's prescribed a potion full of warm emotion

Every day

A loving spoonful to be taken
It's the only way
To stop this empty heart of mine from breaking


Won't get better till you're back again
He told me,

Doctor's orders need your loving arms to hold me
Darling, now I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm so hooked on your love, I can't live without it


You're away
But, please don't treat me like a stranger

Doctor's orders say,
One kiss from you and I am out of danger


(Instrumental Interlude)

Hey, hey, hey, hey


Doctor's orders say there's only one thing for me
Nothing he can do, 'cause only you can cure me

Says in my condition love's the best physician
He's prescribed a potion full of warm emotion


Won't get better till you're back again
He told me,
Doctor's orders need your loving arms to hold me

Darling, now I know there ain't no doubt about it
I'm so hooked on your love, I can't live without it
