About Doctor Doctor

"Doctor Doctor" is a song by the British hard rock band UFO, written by the band's guitarist Michael Schenker and original singer Phil Mogg. It was released as a single from the album Phenomenon in 1974, but it did not enter the UK Singles Chart. However, a live recording from the 1979 album Strangers in the Night was released as a single and became the first hit for the band. In 2010, a live version with Vinnie Moore was released in the Best of a Decade album. UFO and Schenker's subsequent band, the Michael Schenker Group, continue to play "Doctor Doctor" live at almost all of their concerts. It has been covered by several heavy metal bands, most notably by Iron Maiden.

Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in

She walked up to me
And really stole my heart
And then she started
To take my body apart

Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, I'm going fast
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, I'm going fast

It's only just a moment
She's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation
For a nervous boy

Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in

But you look so angry
As I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain
And I can't take any more

Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, I'm going fast

Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please
Oh, I'm going fast
