If I Only Had a Heart

When a man's an empty kettle

He should be on his metal

And yet I'm torn apart

Because I'm presuming

That I could be a 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 who shoots arrows

If I only had a heart

Picture me, a balcony

Above a voice sings below

Wherefore art thou, Romeo

I hear bees, oh, so sweet

Just to register emotion

Jealousy, devotion

And really feel the part

I could stay young and chipper

And I'd like it with a zipper

If I only had a heart

If I only had a heart

If I only had a heart

If I only had a heart
