Lyrics

(G5)I don’t (E5)need no doc tor,

’cause I know what’s ail in’ me.

(G5)I don’t (A5)need no doc tor,

’cause I know what’s ail in’ me.

(B5)All I need is my ba by.

you know, You know gon na take I’m in mis er y.

(G5)I don’t (E5)need no doc tor,

or my pre tion to be filled.

(G5)I don’t (A5)need no doc tor,

or my pre tion to be filled.

(B5)All I need is my ba by, you know, You know gon na take care of all my ills.

(G5)I don’t (E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need no doc (G5)tor.

(E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need no doc tor.

The (E5)doc tor said I need rest.

They (E5)put me on the cri ti cal list.

To (E5)keep me safe from harm,

all I need is her sweet charm.

She (E5)gave me a med i cat ed (A5)lo tion, it would n’t soothe

my e mo tion.

(E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need no doc (G5)tor.

(E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need no doc (G5)tor.

(E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need, no.

I don’t need no doc tor.

I don’t need no doc tor.

I don’t need no doc tor.

I don’t need no doc tor.

(E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need no doc (G5)tor.

(E5)I (G5)don’t (A5)need no doc (G5)tor.
