All The King's Horses
The Monkees · Music Box [2008]
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
I woke up this morning, and this is what I found
You had gone and left me
And you never even made a farewell sound
All the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
I asked your friends about you, and this is what they said
'She can live without you, she's gonna find a man
With money instead.'
All the king's horses and all the king's men
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
Someday, you will know the meaning of a love that's true
But when you find out, I won't be around to share it with you
All the kings' horses and all the king's men (hey, yeah yeah)
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again (no, no, no)
All the king's horses and all the king's men (hey, yeah yeah)
They couldn't put my broken heart back together again
