A Plastic Heart Lyrics by Roy Acuff

Back In The Country

1974

[Verse 1]
They're using plastic nowadays
To make most everything
From mother's set of chinaware
To the baby's teething ring
You understand that it won't break
And I believe I'm smart
In thinking that it might pay me
To have a plastic heart
[Chorus]
It seems you're getting careless lately
And I'm on the spot
You're carrying my heart around
I'm scared you'll let it drop
It's not that I don't trust you dear
But just for my own sake
I wish I had a plastic heart
So it wouldn't break
[Verse 2]
If it were made of plastic
Then I wouldn't have to mind
For you could kick and throw it 'round
Or drop it anytime
And it would even stay the same
Though you should call it quits
This way just any little fall could brеak my heart to bits
[Verse 3]
Of course I know my crazy wish
Could nevеr be that way
Cause hearts are not made out of things
Like plastic, food, or clay
But just say if they were sweetheart
Then how about your own?
I surely hope I wouldn't find
That yours was made of stone
[Chorus]
It seems you're getting careless lately
And I'm on the spot
You're carrying my heart around
I'm scared you'll let it drop
It's not that I don't trust you dear
But just for my own sake
I wish I had a plastic heart
So it wouldn't break
