Maybe the juke box can heal up a heartache

But I'd go into debt

Maybe the whiskey can wipe out a memory

But it only hurts my head

Maybe some dancing will pick me up

But the best songs always ends

Now I'm down and telling myself

Time is a fools best friend.



Chorus:

Doctor time, have mercy on me

Don't wait too long to set me free

Doctor time, I'm counting on you

Cause your the only one

Who can pull me through



Friends tell me hard work can fill up the hours

But it don't fill this bed

A quarter says a phone call can bring forgiveness

She'd hang up again

Gotta find something to forget her

Everytime I lay down

There ain't a night goes by I don't wish

I'd wake up a year from now



Chorus:

Doctor time, have mercy on me

Don't wait too long to set me free

Doctor time, I'm counting on you

Cause your the only one

Who can pull me through



Time tell the truth your the only one I trust

How many weeks until I leave this heartache in the dust



Chorus:

Doctor time, have mercy on me

Don't wait too long to set me free

Doctor time, I'm counting on you

Cause your the only one

Who can pull me through
