(Written by Vince Clarke)

Of that feeling

My head's in relief

You think you're in control

But you can only obey

I can move you

I can observe you

I can take different places in a different play

And I don't think you understand

What I'm trying to say

I'll be operated baby

I'm in control now



Action, action, close reaction

And make me feel

I'm thinking baby inside your head

Conversation, my creation

Nothing that you do -you know-

Unless I say

And you don't know the consequences

Of the things you said

I'll be operated baby

I'm in control now



And all the things you tried to do babe

And all the words we said before

My only part of what I started baby

But you can't stand me anymore



Of that feeling

My head's on relief

You think you're in control

But you can only obey

I can move you

I can observe you

I can take different places in a different play

And I don't think you understand

What I'm trying to say

I'll be operated baby

I'm in control now
