Sounds of the Seventies [1989] (compilation series) - Doctor's Orders lyrics

[Phone ringing over the instrumental intro] [Spoken over the instrumental intro]: [Caller]: Hello? [Carol Douglas]: Hi, honey, it's me. I went to see the doctor today 'Cause ever since you've been gone.... [Female background vocal group singing]: (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) [over Carol Douglas speaking like Diana Ross during the instrumental break]: I've had a pain deep down inside He said there's nothing really wrong with me I'm just missing my man, So, honey, please come on home as soon as you can. [Sung]: 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 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 [Female background vocal group singing]: (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh, hey, hey, hey, hey) [over Carol Douglas once again speaking like Diana Ross during the instrumental interlude]: Please say you understand how I feel, honey I know you've got a lot of things on your mind Oh, but I'm missing you so bad Please, oh, please come on home [Sung]: 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 prescribed a potion full of warm emotion Won't get better till you're back again he told me
