lyrics for
If I Could Put Them All Together (I'd Have You)

I guess I ran to Rhonda for her sympathy
But Julie Ann does all she can to take your chains off me
But next in line comes Caroline
She has your long black hair
I can close my eyes and make believe
That you are lying there

If I could put them all together I'd have you
But that's more than any mortal man can do
So I'm drawn to the neon lights and tortured by the truth
If I could put them all together I'd have you

I thought that Mary Ann could keep me satisfied
But your memory stares back at me
As I look into her eyes
It's hard to be contented with all the rest
When you've loved the perfect woman
When you've held the very best

If I could put them all together I'd have you
But that's more than any mortal man can do
So I'm drawn to the neon lights and tortured by the truth
If I could put them all together I'd have you
If I could put them all together I'd have you
