Wooden Heart
Elvis Presley · Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 3
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
Muβ i' dann, muβ i' dann
Zum Städtele hinaus
Städtele hinaus
Und du, mein Schatz, bleibst hier?
There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Sei mir gut
Sei mir gut
Sei mir wie du wirklich sollst
Wie du wirklich sollst
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart
Wooden Heart
Elvis Presley's "Wooden Heart" stands as a poignant example of his mid-1960s pop balladry, showcasing a softer, more introspective side of his vocal range. Recorded for the album Elvis' Gold Records Vol. 3, the track exemplifies the era's shift toward romantic storytelling and emotional vulnerability within the rock and roll genre. The song's gentle melody and Presley's tender delivery highlight his ability to convey deep sentimentality, distinguishing it from his more energetic rock performances. As part of his extensive discography, "Wooden Heart" remains a cherished track that reflects the artistic maturity of his later career, appealing to listeners who appreciate the nuanced emotional depth found in his catalog.
