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
