Gotta Get It Worked On Lyrics - Delbert Mcclinton

When Loretta left me back here in St. Paul 

My head started spinning, my heart hit the wall 

And I gotta get it worked on, gotta get it worked on 

Well, I don't think it's broken but it sure hurts a lot 

Like a macho man I said I'll fix it myself 

I can tell already I'm gonna need some help 

And I gotta get it worked on, I gotta get it worked on 

Now I'm gonna have to get me some professional help, yeah 

Well now I went to see a doctor and he took one look 

He just shook his head and closed his medical books 

Said you gotta get it worked on, gotta get it worked on 

It ain't gonna kill you, you're not gonna die, no 

Maybe I should go ahead and open up and just let it bleed 

'Cause if I let it turn to stone, I'll never find the love I need 

Maybe I should go ahead and open up and just let it bleed 

'Cause if I let it turn to stone, I'll never find the love I need 

I went down to New Orleans to see Miss Larue 

She said you're too far gone there's ain't a thing I can do 

But you better get it worked on, better get it worked on 

I can give you a number of someone to call, yeah 

Better get it worked on, better get it worked on
