Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'

Regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows 
And the boy that 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
