If I Only Had A Heart Lyrics - The Afghan Whigs

(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
