If I Only Had A Heart

When a girl's an empty kettle
She 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 who 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
If I only had a heart
