She went through my head, through my head Through my head, through my head She went to my head, through my head While I was layin' in a hospital bed
She gave me thrills from my toes For leggin' ache She gave me pills from her love But a little too late
She gave me pills for my heart To put me at ease The rock n' roll nurse Shook me dead to my knees
She went through my head, through my head Through my head, through my head She went through my head, through my head While I was layin' in the hospital bed
Nurses, nurses, can't you see I don't dig this jive you givin' me? Give me yo' pill or give me your shot You got me wonderin' what, what have I got?
She went through my head, through my head Through my head, through my head Through my head, she went through my head While I was layin' in that hospital bed
Doctor, doctor, run here 'n see I don't dig this jive this nurse givin' me She gimme a shot, she give me yo' pills I'm takin' this junk a'gin my will
She went through my head, through my head Through my head, to my head He went through my head, through my head While I was layin' in that hospital bed
