My Heart is Artificial (But My Love for You is Real)

My Heart is Artificial (But My Love for You is Real) - Bob Mellman

You've been hurt by cheatin' hearts I've been told

Now you're lookin' for a heart of gold

You want to find one truer than the rest

Well my heart is different. you can plainly see

It's plastic and it's powered by a battery

And it's beating for you right outside of my chest

[Chorus]
My heart is artificial, but my love for you is real
My heart is artificial, but my love for you is real

I'm a marvel of the modern medicine
I'm just the fourth or fifth person that the heart has been in
A guinea pig establishing a trend
So please treat me gentle, don't you break my heart
It's not easy to fix (It takes a week for the part)
And Crazy Glue won't help to make it mend

[Repeat Chorus]

Now I can't walk to the ends of the earth just to tell you I love you
And you don't make the blood rush through my veins But you help

So I'm gonna wait a while to have sex in heaven
'Cause I'm wired up to my Jarvik 7
I'll stay in circulation for a while
And I'll give you my heart If you will be my babe
(It's soaking in a jar filled with formaldehyde) And if my brand new pump don't falter
I'll go to the altar with you

[Repeat Chorus]
