Wooden Heart

Well, I didn't know what I should do
To help myself get over you
And mend this heart of mine
So I took my axe and walked around
Until I knew that I had found
The perfect piece of pine

Well I took my axe and walked around
Sized it up girl and I cut it down

Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart
Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart

Well, I carved and sanded with the grain
I've added coats of stain
And my new heart's looking good
But one more problem still remains
I just can't seem to make this thing
Work the way it should

Well, I carved and sanded with the grain
This heart of mine just ain't the same

Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart
Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart

[Repeat x2]
When you are mine
This heart will shine
I'll set my watch
To its perfect time

Come on, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart
Oh, girl, you will polish
My wooden heart

Come on girl (x3)
Ohhhh
Come on girl (x3)
Ohhhh
