If I Only Had A Heart - Susannah McCorkle

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
