Here’s why I’m afraid. When we got engaged, my
mother-in-law told hubby he could do better than me.
Outwardly nice, she chopped off my limbs one by one.
Each time she did that, I replaced them with another made of tin.
I have a tin heart. I am The Tin Girl around her.
The Tin Woodman of Oz (Wikipedia)
Tin Man: My… mmm-my, my, my, my goodness. I can talk again!
Dorothy: Well, you’re perfect now.
Tin Man: Perfect? Oh, bang on my chest if you think I’m perfect.
Go ahead, bang on it! It’s empty. The tinsmith forgot to give me a heart. All hollow.
Script from the movie, The Wizard of Oz
“I’d be tender, I’d be gentle
and awful sentimental
regarding Love and Art.
I’d be friends with the sparrows
and the boy who shoots the arrows
if I only had a heart.”
Lyric from the movie, The Wizard of Oz
