If I Only Had a Heart Lyrics

* () = optional introduction
  () = optional ending

Trees:   (SAID A TINMAN, RATTLING HIS JIBS
         TO A STRAW MAN SAD AND WEARY-EYED
Tin Man: OH THE SMITH GAVE ME TIN RIBS BUT
         FORGOT TO PUT A HEART INSIDE
Trees:   THEN HE BANGED HIS HOLLOW CHEST AND CRIED)
Tin Man: WHEN A MAN'S AN EMPTY KETTLE
         HE SHOULD BE ON HIS METTLE, AND YET I'M TORN APART
         BUT I COULD BE PRESUMIN' THAT I COULD BE KINDA HUMAN
         IF I ONLY HAD A HEART
         I'D BE TENDER, I'D BE GENTLE, 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
Voice:   WHEREFORE ART THOU, ROMEO?
Tin Man: 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
         (OH I MAY BE PRESUMIN' THAT I COULD BE KINDA HUMAN
         I'D BE FRIENDS WITH THE SPARROWS AND THE BOY THAT SHOOTS THE ARROWS
Dorothy: YOU COULD STAY YOUNG AND CHIPPER
Tin Man: AND I'D LOCK IT WITH A ZIPPER IF I ONLY
Dorothy: IF YOU ONLY
Trees:   IF YOU ONLY
All:     HAD A HEART!!!)
