Ring my friend, I said you'd call

Doctor Robert
You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
Doctor Robert
[Verse 2]
If you're down he'll pick you up
Doctor Robert
Take a drink from his special cup
Doctor Robert
[Chorus 2]
Doctor Robert
He's a man you must believe
Helping anyone in need
No one can succeed like
Doctor Robert

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you

You're a new and better man
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can
