Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor) Lyrics

The hot summer night fell like a net
I've got to find my baby yet
I need you to soothe my head
Turn my blue heart to red

Doctor, doctor, give me the news
I've got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I've got a bad case of lovin' you

A pretty face don't make no pretty heart
I learned that, buddy, from the start
You think I'm cute, a little bit shy
Momma, I ain't that kind of guy

Doctor, doctor, give me the news
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you
Whooaaa

I know you like it, you like it on top
Tell me, momma, are you gonna stop?

You had me down, 21 to zip
Smile of Judas on your lip
Shake my fist, knock on wood
I've got it bad, and I've got it good

Doctor, doctor, gimme the news
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you

She isn't his true girlfriend, he still has to find her. He's using her for sex, not that shy guy. But she likes it on top and he can't come (ejaculate) when he's under her. 21 to zip: play of cards named 21, if you have 21 you win. She climaxed multiple times and he not. So real case of bad loving...

Robert Palmer has that wonderful, gritty Joe Cocker-ish voice. That said, I don't think his songs really mean anything. They're just songs about love that are nice to listen to.

i can't figure out if he's saying he has a bad case of loving the doctor, or he's telling the person he loves that the doctor told him he has a bad case of loving her.

Great song, though.

Hm. I wonder.

This is his best song as far as I'm concerned. :)

Sounds as though she's cheating and lying. Perhaps you should choose your love songs more carefully ;)

OMG...It's ROBERT PALMER. ICK!!!!

I chose it cos he sings it with his great soulful voice that is controlled,and because the lyrics are catchy not to mention it's nostalgic for me. :P

It's like Jack the Ripper stuff and spending half your life trying to silence it up.

I once had a crush on somebody that hit me like an anvil. I really reflected on the line " I got it bad and I got it good". Oh and I was 29 , same girl when I knew she was with somebody reduced me to the fetal position on the carpet
