It's been a long time since we been travellin' down

On the wrong side of your love

But i don't care if you think i'm wasting my time

You're the only one i'm thinkin' of

Well i spend my whole life travellin' around

From town to town and i need



Open soul surgery

Open soul surgery

Yeh i need surgery

Open soul surgery



Ooh, yeh



When you were 18 i took you from your mama & sister

As you didn't need that kind of protection

Now i hate to see you comin on like some kind of bitch

'cos your life ain't what you're expectin'

Well i spend all my time just chasing you down

And now that i found you i need



Open soul surgery

Open soul surgery

Yeh i need surgery

Open soul surgery



Somebody help me now



And now the pressure's on

I don't know right from wrong

I live in desperation

I can feel the heat

Now that i'm on the street

For what you've done to me

And i'm gonna need



Open soul surgery

Open soul surgery

Yeh i need surgery

Open soul surgery
