Night Nurse Lyrics
Gregory Isaacs
Lyrics
Tell her try your best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
'Cause 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 Gregory
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse, oh gosh
Oh, the pain is getting worse
I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
For there's no prescription for me
She is 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
I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
For there's no prescription for me
She is 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 by love and I'm sure
No doctor can cure
Night nurse, night nurse
