Lyrics of Night Nurse by Gregory Isaacs
verse
Tell her, "Try your best" just to make it quick
Come attend 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
chorus
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this thirst
My night nurse, oh, gosh
Oh, the pain is getting worse
verse
I don't wanna see no doc'
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
′Cause there′s no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
chorus
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this thirst
My night nurse
Oh, the pain is getting worse
I′m hurt, my love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
verse
I don't wanna see no doc′
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
'Cause there′s no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy
chorus
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this thirst
My night nurse
Oh, the pain is getting worse
I'm hurt, my love
And I′m sure
No doctor can cure
outro
Night nurse
Night nurse, oh, gosh
Writer(s): Gregory Isaacs, Sylvester Weise
