Lyrics: It's been a long time since I bin scramblin' down
On the wrong side of your love
And I don't care if you say I'm wasting my time
Cuz you're the only one I'm thinkin' of

Seems I spent my whole life ramblin' around
From town to town and I need

Open soul surgery
Open soul surgery
Ooh, I need surgery
Open soul surgery

Ooh, yeh

When you were 18 I took you from your mother and sister
As you didn't need that kind of protection
And now I hate seein' you comin' on like some kinda bitch
Just cuz your life ain't what you're expectin'

Seems I spent my whole life ramblin' around
From town to town and I need

Open soul surgery
Open soul surgery
Ooh, I need surgery
Open soul surgery - ya

Somebody help me now

(Solo)

Seems I spent my whole life ramblin' around
From town to town and I need

Open soul surgery
Open soul surgery
Ooh, I need surgery
Open soul surgery
