Doctor’s Orders

[Verse 1: Luther Vandross & Aretha Franklin]

Look, hopping, hopping, 'til I'm energized (Oh yeah)

'Cause I got something on my mind (What is it, baby?)

So I, I said to my baby, leave the job early (Mhm)

'Cause I got a thing for you that's killing me (I like that stuff)

You really know just how to thrill me (Uh-huh)

You lay those pretty little words on me (Uh-huh)

So I'll be the doctor, let me work on you (I'm ready)

And then I'll prescribe the things we gonna do

(Mmm, okay)

[Chorus: Luther Vandross & Aretha Franklin]

The doctor's orders said to get some love (Oh yeah)

Said you've been goin' without it long enough, long enough

So here I am, boy, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of

Ooh, boy, my boy

[Verse 2: Luther Vandross & Aretha Franklin]

I love it when you get sentimental (Ah baby)

You can't be a no way but sweet and gentle (Yeah)

You know what to do when the world falls in

You give me the sweetest kind of medicine

I'm with you, with you, baby

One kiss (Hurt me) from you would be (Be)

The world's sweetest kind of surgery (Uh-huh)

So you'll be the doctor, boy, won't you be

And write up a love prescription just for me

(I'm hanging with you, baby) Hang with me, baby

[Bridge: Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Both]

I spoke to the main man at that love pharmacy (Yeah)

So let me just tell you, huh, exactly what you need (No stuff)

I'll show you the directions but be sure you'll read the warning

(Say what?)

Baby, try two kisses (Okay), and then call me in the morning, haha (Oh)

[Chorus: Aretha Franklin & Luther Vandross]

The doctor's orders said to get some love (Get it, get it)

Said you've been goin' without it long enough (Long enough), oh yeah

So here I am, girl, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreamin' of

Ooh, girl, my girl

[Bridge]

(Fever) Fever has got a hold on you

(I see a love fever) Uh-huh, and you can hardly make it

(I got fever) Fever, ooh, about a hundred-zero-two, ah

(A love fever, fever) And you don't think you can take it, help me

[Interlude: Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross]

Oh (Oh, it's hot)

(Say, oh, oh, oh)

Oh (Oh), I'm burning with the fever

(Oh, oh, oh)

(The doctor said) What did he say? (To get some love)

And (And I'm so, I'm so, I'm so in love with you, baby)

You know you better be listening to what the doctor said

[Verse 3: Aretha Franklin & Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross]

I feel better now, I don't know how we did it, but we did (Oh, oh)

Will you keep hugging me and working me?

And don't you ever quit it (Ooh, boy)

So get out of bed the doctor said, 'cause you're the cure I need

For anything that's wrong with me

I'm hanging with you, baby (Hang with me, baby)

[Chorus: Luther Vandross & Aretha Franklin]

The doctor's order said to get some love

Hang with me, baby

Said you've been going without it long enough

Stay right here, hang with me, baby

Here I am, boy, to hook you up, oh yeah

That's exactly what I'm dreaming of (Hey, hey, yeah)

(Uh-huh)

[Outro: Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Both]

The doctor said, love, doctor said, love, to get you some love (Ooh)

Get to my love, get to my love, got to be love

Got to be love

So here I am, boy, to hook you up

And that's exactly what I'm dreaming of, yeah (Uh-huh)

The doctor's order said to get some love

When do you want it?

Said you've been going without it long enough, long enough

Oh, how do you want it?

Here I am to hook you up

That's exactly what I'm dreaming of
