Willis Moore
If I Only Had A Brain (edit)


Oh I-- could tell you why,
The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thought before,
Then I'd sit-- and think some more.

I would not be just a nothin',
my head all full of stuffin',
My heart all full of pain.
And perhaps I’d deserve you
And be even worthy of you
If I Only had a brain

When a man’s an empty kettle
He should be on his medal
And yet I’m torn apart
Just because I’m presuming
That I could be kind of human 
If I only had a heart
