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
