When Loretta left me back here in Saint Paul
My head started spinnin'
And my heart hit the wall
Now I gotta get it worked on
Gotta get it worked on
I don't think it's broken but it sure hurts a lot

Like a macho man I said I'll fix it myself
But I can tell already I'm gonna need some help
Now I gotta get it worked on
Gotta get it worked on
I'm gonna have to get me some
Professional help

Well now I went to see a doctor
And he took one look
He just shook his head
And closed his medical book
Said you better get it worked on
Better get it worked on
It ain't gonna kill ya
Ya ain't gonna die

Bridge
Maybe I should go ahead and open up
And just let it bleed
Cause if I let it turn to stone
I'll never find the love I need

I went down to New Orleans
To see Miss LaRoux
She said you're too far gone
There ain't a thing I can do
But you better get it worked on
Better get it worked on
I can give you a number of someone to call
