Discover the story of the song > It Serves You Right To Suffer – John Lee Hooker

The song is about a man who deserves to suffer and be alone because his partner treated him badly and he can't stop thinking about her whenever he sees other women. He's struggling with his nerves, can't sleep at night, and his doctor put him on milk, cream, and alcohol. The lyrics emphasize that living in the past and holding onto memories won't change his current situation.
