If I Only Had a Brain
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.
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.
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.
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.
