Can't you see I love you? Please don't break my heart in two,
That's not hard to do, 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart.

And if you say "Goodbye,"

Then I know that I would cry. Maybe I would die,

'Cause I don't have a wooden heart.
There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.

Treat me nice, treat me good, Treat me like you really should,
'Cause I'm not made of wood, And I don't have a wooden heart.
