Saw a man in the movies that didn’t have a heart How I wish I could give him mine Then I wouldn’t have to feel it breaking all apart And this emptiness inside would suit me fine
It’s times like these I wish I were a tin man You could hurt me all you wanted And I’d never even know I’d give anything just to be the tin man And I wouldn’t have a heart and I wouldn’t need a soul
I couldn’t see your leavin’ comin’ You took me by surprise Even now it still seems like a dream But I know I can’t be dreamin’ ’Cause as I lay down each night The pain so great that it won’t let me sleep
It’s times like these I wish I were a tin man You could hurt me all you wanted And I’d never even know I’d give anything just to be the tin man And I wouldn’t have a heart and I wouldn’t need a soul Well I’d give anything just to be the tin man And I wouldn’t have a heart and I wouldn’t miss you so
