If I Only Had A Heart

E.Y. Yip Harburg / Harold Arlen

[Tin Man]
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 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 the arrows
If I only had a heart

Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low

[Snow White]
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

[Tin Man]
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
