Wooden Heart Lyrics

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 good-bye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die cause I don't have a woooden 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

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
No I don't have a wooden heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Hmm - wot, no German bit, TP? This song is sung by Elvis in GI Blues and I always wonder why TP wanted to do it. Any ideas anyone? (Yes, I know he met Elvis when he was 11, but Elvis has done much better songs than this one.)
