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

(Chorus)

It's times like this

I wish I were the tin man

You could hurt me all you wanted

And I'd never even know

Well, 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 leaving coming

It took me by surprise

Even now still seems like a dream

But I know I can't be dreaming

Cuz as I lay down each night

The pains so great

That it won't let me sleep

(Repeat Chorus)

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
