Don't give me no headache powders
They don't do no good for me
There's nothing I can take when my head starts to ache
'Cause you're my remedy, oh baby
You're my remedy (you're my remedy)
Oh how you soothe me (oh how you soothe me)
You can call my name, it soothes all my pain
Oh pretty baby (oh pretty baby)
You're my remedy

When things look dark & dreary
& I'm as blue as I can be
The only thing can cheer me is to have you near me
'Cause you're my remedy, oh baby
You're my remedy (you're my remedy)
Oh how you soothe me (oh how you soothe me)
When the going gets tough, & I've stood enough
Oh pretty baby (oh pretty baby)
You're my remedy

Don't call a doctor, a nurse is worse
'Cause a pill won't kill my pain
When I'm feeling blue, you know what to do
To make me feel all right again

Sometimes I get to tremblin' & shakin'
Like a leaf shakin' on a tree
Without you I suspect I'd be a nervous wreck
'Cause you're my remedy, oh baby
You're my remedy (you're my remedy)
Oh how you soothe me (oh how you soothe me)
I need you around to calm me down
Oh pretty baby (oh pretty baby)
You're my remedy

(backup singers sing title x4)

You're my remedy (you're my remedy)
Oh how you soothe me (oh how you soothe me)
You can call me name & soothe all my pain
Oh pretty baby (oh pretty baby)
You're my remedy
One more time now

You're my remedy (you're my remedy)
Oh how you soothe me (oh how you soothe me)
When the going gets tough, & I've stood enough
Oh pretty baby (oh pretty baby)
You're my remedy
...& fade
