Beth Ditto - Open Heart Surgery lyrics

I'll open up if you make an incision I'll do right by you All I ask is for your care and precision And maybe I could pull through You could've saved me if you'd only known better But you so carlessly Took me apart and put me back together Open heart surgery I was fine at first Now I a**ume the worst When I could overhear The repercussions of a sad discussion Another girl in tears I could've saved here if I only knew better That you so carelessly Took her apart and put her back together Open heart surgery If girls like you and girls like me Are really a dime a dozen Why are we in such a high demand My mother says it's just a shame you don't come around too often Even she's begun to understand Just let me know What you were thinking I find a way to get along somehow Just let me go Don't leave me hanging Oh, please don't fail me now Just take it slow Don't let me suffer I'm on the verge of an emergency The final blow Will make me tougher Until then you will always be A danger to me We should've listened to our intuition But we knew all to well In addition to our suspicions Only time could tell With friends like you I get confused Who needs enemies We've been here too many times before Open heart surgery If girls like you and girls like me Are really a dime a dozens Why are we in such a high demand My mother says it's just a shame you don't come around too often Even she's begun to understand Just let me know What you were thinking I find a way to get along somehow Just let me go Don't leave me hanging Oh, please don't fail me now Just take it slow Don't let me suffer I'm on the verge of an emergency The final blow Will make me tougher Until then you will always be A danger to me A danger to me
