They say that life's a stage and we are only players  Wish I knew who'd written my part.  Cause when the curtain falls and we all take our curtain calls  I'm the one with the broken heart.  Guess it had to be someone  What's the stage without a little tragedy?  Guess it had to be someone  But oh, it seems the someone's always me!    CHORUS: Hey, hey Mr. Playwright,  These roles are killing me yet  Have pity on a broken-hearted player  If you can hear me, please heed this request  Don't want to land the hero, don't want the leading role  Don't want the lights or the fans, no.  Next time you write me in, remember  I want to play the Tinman.    They say we all will get our entrances and exits  When's my turn, I'd like to know?  Cause when it's finally time for someone to be exiting  I've always got the line of, “Please, please don't go."  Guess they had to leave someone  What's the stage without a little tragedy?  Guess they had to leave someone  But oh, It seems the someone that they always leave is me.    CHORUS    You could undo the damage that's been done  If you would finally let me play the heartless one.    CHORUS         This site designed by Shupel.com
