He recognized the fracture line and asked   How bad's the pain   I said it's feeling worse than ever, can't you make it go away   He studied my heart up and down and said   I've never seen one quite this bad   I'll wrap it up if you want me to but I   Must be warning you      A split won't work, a cast won't last   A band-aid will come unglued   The only way to heal your heart    Is keeping loving til one loves you      Ooh the doctor said it's true   Ooh now get better soon      Well I knew that I couldn't wait and he'd walked out the door   So I grabbed the Novacaine and some pills from his drawer   And when I got home I held my heart and   Bandaged all those ugly scars   Numbed the pain and popped the pills until my heart went still      And life just passed by every day like every day before   I felt no love, I felt no pain   I played my part and nothing more      Ooh the doctor said it's true   Oooh now get better soon      I couldn't stand the pain   I couldn't stand the pain   I couldn't stand the pain so I washed it away   I couldn't stand the pain      I ran into the doc last weekend at the grocery superstore   He asked me how's it feeling and I said it's barely sore   But he saw my eyes so dark and blank and that   Practiced smile on my face   He said there's one more thing to do and I think it might cure you      Write down everything you loved about the one you knew   Then love yourself in that same way and in no time you'll be brand new      Ooh the doctor said it's true   Oooh now get better soon      Ooh get better soon   Ooh get better soon   The doctor said today it can all go away   Now get better soon
