Letra de ' Open Heart Surgery ' de Beth Ditto

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 have saved me if you'd only known better
But you're 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'd only known better
But you're 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
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
Please don't fail me now
Just take it slow
Don't let me suffer
I'm on a verge of an emergency
But final blow
Will 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 our suspicion
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 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
Oh please don't fail me now
Just take it slow
Don't let me suffer
I'm on a verge of an emergency
But final blow
Will make me tougher
Until then you will always be a danger to me
A danger to me
A danger to me
A danger to me
A danger to me
