Tell her try her best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Mickey

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, Oh God
Oh the pain is getting worse

I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love

I don't want to see no Doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there 's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst

My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt my love
And I'm sure, no, no doctor got a cure

My night nurse
My night nurse
My night nurse

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
