Well I woke up this morning
Took your advice
I dialed the number
And I let it ring twice
Then I hung up

Now I tried to do
Everything I could
To save our love
And make it feel good again

I can't fight it, there's nobody home
Hard hearted and all alone
I give you love, you ain't giving it back
I can't take it

I need to see the soul doctor
Before the fever begins
You know I'm searching for the soul doctor
When love is wearing thin
Doctor soul is in

I've been kicked in the corner
I'm down in the dirt
I can't feel a thing
But I know it ought to hurt

Now your shaking my spirit
I'm breaking my back
I'm too blind to hear it
So I over react to satisfaction
If I could get me some

I ain't talking, there's nothing to say
Misunderstandin', your walking away
Maybe baby, it's gonna take time, time, time

I need to see the soul doctor
Before the fever begins
You know I'm searching for the soul doctor
When love is wearing thin
Doctor soul is in

I need to see the soul doctor
You know things are looking grim
I keep searching for the soul doctor
Doctor soul is in

The doctor's soul intention
Let it be understood
Can't pull the strings of my heart
I ain't made out of wood

Now I take what I get
To get what it takes
Need a little bit a love
Got a whole lotta heartaches

I can't fight it, there's nobody home
Hard hearted and all alone
Maybe baby, it's gonna take time, time, time

I need to see the soul doctor
Before the fever begins
You know I'm searching for the soul doctor
When love is wearing thin
Doctor soul is in

I need to see the soul doctor
You know things are looking grim
I keep searching for the soul doctor
Doctor soul is in

Hey, a little bit of soul, oh yeah
Doctor soul is in
Heart and soul doctor
I need to see the soul doctor, soul doctor
Doctor soul is in
Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor save my soul
Doctor soul is in
Ooh

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
