[Verse 1]
Oh, and my darling I'm telling you this
To let you know that I'm sorry you're sick
Tears of sorrow won't do you no good
And I'd be your doctor if only I could

[Chorus]
What do you want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more

[Verse 2]
Swimming the oceans on the deepest canals
To get to you darling and make you well
There's no place on Earth I'd hasten go
To cool the fever, I want you to know

[Chorus]
What do you want from the liquor store?
Something sour or something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more, hey!

[Verse 3]
Promise me, darling, that you won't die
I'll get all the medicine money can buy
Stick with me baby, hold on and fight
Take a good rest and prolong your fight
[Chorus]
What do you want from the liquor store?
Something sour, something sweet?
I'll buy you all that your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more
What do you want from the liquor store?
Something sour, something sweet?
I'll buy you all your belly can hold
You can be sure you won't suffer no more
