Correction Lyrics Open Heart Surgery by Beth Ditto

Lyrics

I'll open up if you make an incision
I'll do right by you
All I ask is your care and precision
And maybe I could pull through
You could have saved me if you only knew better
But you so carelessly
Took me apart and put me back together
Open heart surgery

I was fine at first now I assume the worst
When I could overhear
The repercussions of a sad discussion
Another girl in tears
I could have saved her if I only knew better
But you so carelessly
Took her apart and put her back together
Open heart surgery

If guys like you and girls like me
Are really dime-a-dozen
Then 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 are thinking
I'll find a way to get along somehow
Just let me go don't leave me hanging
Whoa-wo, please don't fail me now
Just take it slow don't make me suffer
I'm on the verge of an emergency
The final blow wil make me tougher
Until then you will always be
A danger to me

We should have listened to our intuition
But we knew all too well
In addition to all 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 guys like you and girls like me
Are really dime-a-dozen
Then 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
