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...
