I’m dialing to get the help I need,
I’m nervous thinking where this call may lead.

Okay, here goes, 555-5613,
I’ll hold out hope that there is aid for me.

Good morning, Clinic Where We Handle All,
I’m Courtney, how may I direct your call?

I’m not myself and I don’t understand,
My symptoms worse than when they first began.

I’ll let you speak with Dr. Simmons’ nurse,
And she’ll review your ailments with you first.

I feel so sick, I don’t know what to do,
Warm, sweaty palms, and legs that turn to goo.

Heart fluttering, a mouth that’s always dry,
Can’t settle down no matter what I try.

So glad you called, it seems you have it bad,
I’ll look and see what openings we have.

Yes, he can see you on the tenth at three.
That’s fine, and what a great relief to me.

Day comes, I’m weak and wobbly in the knees,
Oh Dr. Simmons, will you help me please?

I’m strangely ill, just why, I can’t surmise,
And plus, my stomach’s filled with butterflies.

Can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t even concentrate,
Afraid of what you’ll tell me is my fate.

It’s common, many times I’ve seen the same
I’ll ask you just one question, what’s his name?

It’s Dan, a dark and handsome one is he,
He’s great, but what’s that got to do with me?

You’re lovesick, Shayla, don’t you understand?
Your symptoms caused by hunky, dreamy Dan.

To help alleviate your many ills,
I’ll write prescription for some lovesick pills.
