Lyric Overnight Observation

(J. Farrar/T. Snow)

Looks like I m the only one here
Even the nurse is gone
But I guess I should wait cause when she left, she said

The doctor won t be long
So make yourself at home
His office is down the hall

Why do I feel uneasy?
I know he must be good
Got credentials all over the wall

I hear a voice behind me say
What seems to be the trouble, my dear?
Won t you be kind enough to step over here

It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, I ll have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
I ll hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)

Please don t think me ungrateful
But holding me overnight
Seems a little extreme
Do you always serve martinis
And turn the lights down low
Doctor, do your colleagues know?
Although you say it s good for me
I really don t feel like dancing now
Somebody s waiting
And I m double-parked anyhow

It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, I ll have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
I ll hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)

Now, I may look stupid
But I ll tell you what, I ve been around a long time
And I thought I had heard everything
I tell you, they keep coming up with them
I just couldn t believe my ears when he said:

Kick off your shoes, relax my dear
Slip into something comfortable
Two seconds flat, I m out the door and down the hall

It might be fever
It might be flu
To isolate it, I ll have to hold you
Overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
In my opinion
All we can do to isolate it
I ll hold you overnight (observation)
Overnight (observation)
