If I only had one arm to hold you
Better yet if I had none at all
Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache for you
And I'd have one less memory to recall

If I'd only had one ear to listen
To the lies that you told to me
Then I would more closely resemble
The half a man that you made of me

(Instrumental Break)

And if I only had one leg to stand on
Then a much, a much truer picture you'd see
And then I would more closely resemble
The half a man that you made of me

Yeah, then I would more closely resemble
The half a man that you've made of me
