If I Only Had a Heart Songtext

If I Only Had a Heart Songtext
When a man′s an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I′m presumin'
That I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender, I′d be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I′d be friends with the sparrows
And the boy that shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
I hear a beat, how sweet!
Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I′m presumin'
That I could be kind of human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender, I′d be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I′d be friends with the sparrows
And the boy that shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
I hear a beat, how sweet!
Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart
