The Wizard of Oz the Musical - If I Only Had a Heart Lyrics

TIN MAN
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 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 boys who shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart.
Picture me - a balcony. Above a voice sings low.

DOROTHY
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.

DOROTHY
That was wonderful!
You know, we were just wondering why you couldn't come with us to
the Emerald City to ask the Wizard of Oz for a heart.

TIN MAN
Well, suppose the Wizard wouldn't give me one when we got there?

DOROTHY
Oh, but he will! He must! We've come such a long way already.

SCARECROW
To Oz?

TIN MAN
To Oz!
Dorothy, Scarecrow and Tin Man
