If I Could Put Them All Together

George Jones · I Wanta Sing [Epic] [1977]

I guess I ran to Rhonda for her sympathy

Julieanne does all she can to take your chains off me

The next in line is 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.



--- Instrumental ---



I thought that Maryanne could keep me satisfied

But your memory stares back at me when I look into her eyes

It's hard to be contented with all the rest

Once you've loved the perfect woman what you have is the very best.



If I could put them all togeth 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...
