[English]

Doctor, doctor, need you back home, baby

You got that kind of medicine that keep me comin'

My body needs a hero, come and save me

Something tells me you know how to save me

I've been feeling weird, oh, oh, I need you

To come and rescue me

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Make me come alive, come on and turn me on

Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

Make me come alive, come on and turn me on

Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on (turn me on)

Boy, you make it, make it right

My temperature is super high

If I scream, if I cry

It's only 'cause I feel alive

My body needs a hero, come and save me

Something tells me you know how to save me

I've been feeling weird, oh, oh, I need you

To come and rescue me

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Make me come alive, come on and turn me on

Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

Make me come alive, come on and turn me on

Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on

You've got my life in the palm of your hands (palm of your hands)

Come and save me now, I know you can (I know you can), uh, uh

D-d-d-d-don't let me die young

I just want you to father my young

I just want you to be my doctor

We can get it cracking, chiropractor

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

I, kn-, I know you can save me and make me feel alive

Make me come alive, come on and turn me on

Touch me, save my life, come on and turn me on

I'm too young to die, come on and turn me on

Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on, turn me on
