IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN
I would keep my job at Titan
And give up on my fightin’
From boxin’ I’d refrain...
And all day I’d be thinkin’
Not just standin’ here a-blinkin’ -
If I only had a brain.
I’d admit I have neglected
My wife more than expected,
And caused her too much pain...
‘Cause if I really love her
I would not put things above her -
If I only had a brain.
I’d wear hair that’s not so scary,
Refer to her as Carrie,
‘Cause "my wife" sounds inane...
I’d respect her opinion
And not treat her like a minion -
If I only had a brain.
I would not run off with Sami,
Give Carrie such a whammy,
Which I cannot explain...
I’d think of Carrie’s feelin’s,
Not be crawlin’ through the ceilin’s -
If I only had a brain.
IF I ONLY HAD A HEART
I would not be so connivin’
Con-tin-u-al-ly strivin’
To constantly outsmart...
I would know good from evil
And would not cause such upheaval -
If I only had a heart.
I would not be always teamin’
With Nancy for some schemin’
To tear lives all apart...
Instead I would be carin’
Heart on my sleeve I’d be wearin’ -
If I only had a heart.
I’d be kind and sympathetic,
Be nice and not regret it,
And play a helpful part...
No one’s trust I’d be breakin’,
Lots of friends I would be makin’ -
If I only had a heart.
I would act quite unassumin’
And I’d become more human,
Be lovin’ from the start...
No plannin’ and a’sneakin’
Only truth I would be speakin’ -
If I only had a heart.
IF I ONLY HAD THE NERVE
If I’d shown my love to Carrie,
Refuse to let her marry,
Throwin’ her quite a curve...
We’d have seen stormy weather
But right now we’d be together -
If I only had the nerve.
If I hadn’t kept so silent
Through all the days that I spent
Tryin’ hard not to swerve...
She might have been persuaded
And from Austin be dissuaded -
If I only had the nerve.
I would cut all ties with Ali,
Not even try to dally
In bein’ friends with her...
‘Cause if I’d made her let go
She might not be goin’ psycho -
If I only had the nerve.
Maybe now I’d have a real chance,
If I would push for romance
And show a little verve...
A spine I would be sportin’
And would show that I’m a Horton -
If I only had the nerve.
(Mike)
I admit there’s no denyin’
Inside I’m really dyin’,
This pain I don’t deserve...
I’d be brave as a prizefighter
(Craig)
I’d be gentle as a first-nighter
(Austin)
I’d be clever as a scriptwriter
(Carrie)
If the Writer is a writer who will serve
(Austin)
Then I’m sure to get a brain...
(Craig)
A heart...
(Carrie)
True love...
(Mike)
