The meaning of the lyrics of the song "I Don't Need No Doctor" by the artist "W.A.S.P."

In W.A.S.P.'s song "I Don't Need No Doctor," the lyrical protagonist suffers from a serious case of lovesickness. He is obsessed with a girl ("my baby") and believes that only she can cure his pain and despair. He denies the need for outside help, claiming to know his "disease."

The second part of the song introduces the theme of misunderstanding from the outside world. The doctor, representing rationality and logic, fails to grasp the true cause of the protagonist's suffering. The prescribed medication proves useless against the ailment of love.

The repetition of the phrase "I Don't Need No Doctor" emphasizes the protagonist's belief that only the object of his affection can save him. In this context, the song becomes an anthem of obsessive love, willing to disregard common sense and the advice of others.
