I think he meant surgery as a precision thing, like in "surgical precision". So making love with her was a perfect, precise thing.

Yeah,

I have had a cesarean section and a knee operation and there is NOTHING sexy about surgery.

I wanted to start a thread about replacing the "surgery" lyric in the song ''I Love You In Me" with something more romantic or sexier.

.

For Example;

.

"When she makin' love it's like chemistry"

or, honesty, or home to me, or heavenly, or reverie, or I don't know, anything but surgery.

.

I dunno. He was in a "blood" imagery phase for a while. Ew. Just. Ew.

Re the 'surgery' line, I wondered if he might be referring to the act of penetration - after all, can there be anything more invasive - and intimate - than surgery? Nobody knows your innards better than a surgeon!

I think that you are right.

I think that that is what he meant.

.

But it still reminds me in IV bags and scalpels and catheters and wheel chairs and mental fogginess from pain medications, and so many other unpleasant things.

He would never have used "surgery" as a simile for making love if he wrote the song after he had his hip operation.

.

When she makin' love it's like "poetry"

or ecstasy, or intimacy, or pottery, or lunacy, or melt with me, or carefully, or purity, or on top of me, or anything but surgery.

Yes, all of those are better than surgery. I think the acoustic version with Andy Allo singing is pretty too, but dammit, couldn't they have changed that line? Especially with all the other lines changed to make it less dirty.

I think 'surgery' was meant to mean the correction of something inside of him. The word is shocking and uncomfortable in the song but maybe that was the intention.

1000 hug & kisses. I wanna kiss you, kiss you all over your face.

Makes me think of a sloppy dog.

I would have preferred, I wanna kiss you, kiss you all over the place.

Romantic and sexy at the same time.

I always thought that line deliberately meant to jar the listener out of thinking it was romantic cuz her lovemaking was painfully scarring like surgery.

Me too!Especially the part about having to be a prince before becoming a king. That's my favorite part.

I always thought that this lyric added to the fun tone of the song by including the famous Dr. Seuss quote. Perhaps it is why I thought that Housequacke seemed to be one Prince song that seemed to be aimed for the child within all of us. wink

I think that it is a Midwestern expression.

I never heard it before I went to Illinois.

I like your take on that. Now that I think about it, even though my thought is wtf, it always ends with a giggle!

"If I say eleven

You can say it's seven

Still I wish you heaven"

Love the first verse of the song, but this second verse is just lazy and ruins it for me.
