love is like the scarecrow
for it leaves you with no brain
you have to turn it off
before your thoughts drive you insane
the flames of passion's fire
is what the scarecrow's frightened of
you want to end up brainless ?
go ahead and fall in love
love is like the tin man
for it leaves you with no heart
just use that thing for pumping
and it won't tear you apart
the rusting from his tears
is what the tin man's frightened of
you want to end up heartless ?
go ahead and fall in love
love is like the lion
for it leaves you full of fear
you lose the will to function
when you don't know where to steer
the dread of breaking down
is what the lion's frightened of
you wanna end up fearless ?
then you'd best not fall in love
