The Doobie Brothers

Lyrics featured below: "Real Love", "The Doctor".

Real Love

Darlin', I know
I'm just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl
Let me hear you lie just a little
Tell me I'm the only man
That you ever really loved
Honey take me back
Deep in my memory
A time when it was all very right
So very nice

Here, darlin' stands another bandit wantin' you
In and out your life, they come and they go
Your days and nights like a wheel that turns
Gridin' down a secret part of you
Deep inside your heart 
That nobody knows

When you say comfort me
To anyone who approaches
Chalkin' up the hurt
We live and we learn
Well we've both lived
Long enough to know
We'd trade it all right now
For just one minute of real love



The Doctor


I'm a man who lives in the city
I'm a man who lives in the street
From F.L.A. to Frisco Bay
And everywhere in between 
Coast to coast there's a question
Everybody's always askin' me
People want to know everywhere I go
What can the answer be 

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul 

Well it seems that when I travel
And I'm out there on the road
The freedom I need is the freedom I leave
In my good time rock and roll 

There's a healing in those guitars
And a spirit in the song
No matter what condition your rhythm is in
The message goes on and on 

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul 

If you ever wonder
How to shake your blues
Just follow this prescription
And get the cure for what's ailin' you 

Music is the doctor
Makes you feel like you want to
Listen to the doctor
Just like you ought to
Music is the doctor of my soul
