(Arlen/Harberg)
|
|
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 arrows
|
and the boy who shoots the sparrows
|
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
|
A brain, a home, the nerve
|
