doctor doctor


I won't be naming names
putting two and two together
no need for placing blame
I just want to feel better
I'm acting out and not so nice
I need to be aware of this
I'm asking for some sound advice
that's why you're my therapist

doctor, tell me what's the deal
inside my tow-bit brain
I could tell you how I feel
but it's always the same
I'm lonely and I'm tired
and I'm sorry, sad and scared
I only want to be inspired
but I feel so unprepared

          doctor doctor help me please
          I'm begging you on bended knees
          I'm a victim of my own disease
          and it's more than just the blues
          doctor doctor why am I confused

do the math (second rewrite)


put you and me together
and add up the score
in clear and cloudy weather
it's something we've been searching for
I'm gonna rise to the occasion
I'm the answer to your equation
no matter what the situation
I'll always stand by you

          do the math
          we belong together
          like half-and-half
          ain't nothing better         
          I'm saying this for our own good
          for our own behalf
          do the math
          do the math
          do the math

put one and one together
and the sum you get is us
baby, I'm the inventor
of a love that you can truly trust
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
ain't nothing to be afraid of
no matter what you say, love
I'll always stand by you

          do the math
          we're the right decision
          baby, there's no path
          in long division
          I'm saying this for our own good
          for our own behalf
          do the math
          do the math
          do the math

next day on this planet


nobody can touch me
I do not feel
any good you show me
will always be concealed
sometimes I don't know how
I'm going to make it through
my next day on this planet
but I always do

do the math (rewrite)


put two and two together
chances are it equals four
but that's depending whether
it's something less or something more
I'm gonna rise to the occasion
I'm the answer to your equation
no matter what the situation
I'll always stand by you

          do the math
          we belong together
          like half-and-half
          birds of a feather          
          I'm saying this for our own good
          for our own behalf
          do the math
          do the math
          do the math

put one and one together
and the sum you get is us
baby, I'm the inventor
of a love that you can truly trust
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
ain't nothing to be afraid of
no matter what you say, love
I'll always stand by you

          do the math
          we're the right decision
          baby, there's no need
          for long division
          I'm saying this for our own good
          for our own behalf
          do the math
          do the math
          do the math

homesick


it's been a long time,
so long since I've seen you,
I miss all of you.

messin' with me


lately my life's been 
nothing but crap
think I'll crawl in bed
and take a nap
depression
is messin'
with me

everything's wrong
in this brain of mine
those emotions 
are working overtime
depression
is messin'
with me

          so I'll just sleep and sleep
          and sleep some more
          until good news
          knocks on my door

give me those blankets
a pillow for my head
all in all, 
I guess it's better than being dead
I learned my lesson
here's my confession
I'm guessin'
depression
is messin'
with me

head in my hands


I've got my head in my hands
and I'm shaking back and forth
and this psychic pain inside my brain
is too much to ignore
I need a new prescription
I need to settle down
lie flat as a pancake
with nobody else around
I've got my head in my hands
I've got my head in my hands
