Mama knows her child is ailing What is wrong there ain't no telling She don't know what's run my fever up She wants to take me to the clinic I don't need to see no dentist All I need is someone sweet to love Don't you bring me Doctor Jake I'm strong enough to swim a lake All I need is what I'm dreaming of She lives just some corner Help me out or I'm a goner I've gotta find me someone sweet to love Yes I work hard to make my money Like the beehives love their honey Everything but one fits like a glove So don't send me a nice long letter Asking me if I feel better All I need is someone sweet to love Don't you bring me Doctor Jake I'm strong enough to swim a lake All I need is what I'm dreaming of She lives just some corner Help me out or I'm a goner I've gotta find me someone sweet to love
