Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
An adult narrator looks back on a first sweetheart and childhood days near a seaside cottage. Stones skipped across the bay, meteor showers and imagined adventures frame memories of early curiosity and affection. The closing refrain shifts into the present, turning that remembered closeness into a playful address to a lasting love.

PLAYIN’ DOCTOR Do you remember when we were just kids All the spectacular things that we did Adventurer, wayfarer, Sailor and more We had a cottage right down by the shore We'd stay there for hours until the sun went down We lay with each other on the outskirts of town A meteor shower like never before With nothing but time and a world to explore My Grandmother’s cottage was hidden away We’d lie with each other with nothing to say Skippin’ stones on the Water right down by the Bay Right before bed we would kneel down and pray It was enough to be young and have fun With my first sweetheart, it was love on the Run We built a Rock Fortress just down by the Water And they're in the Forest, we learned about how to Play Doctor CHORUS: Playin’ Doctor We didn't know what we were doin’ Playin’ Doctor A profession worth pursuing We played Doctor All Day long and through the Night Playin’ Doctor Until we finally get it right BRIDGE: Come on down onto the ledge Where Seagulls fly under the Bridge You can hear the Whales callin’ all Night long • Come on and Sail Away into another Love Song CHORUS 2: Playin’ Doctor It's just another thing to do Hard Rocker When your workin’ day is through Cold Water Until your skin is turning Blue Let's Play Doctor Because I'm still in Love with you OUTRO: Playin’ Doctor I'm gonna make you feel all right Playin’ Doctor We're gonna make it through the Night *********
