If I Only Had A Heart

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 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 boys 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
