I got a girl, she likes to swing from a tree
Love that woman but she don't love me
I've got a check book, it got no money
I told her that, she didn't think it was funny

I've got a car but the damn thing won't start
I could fix it but I can't find the spare parts
I've got a stereo with kick-*** speakers
But the sound is getting weaker and weaker

Everything I got is less than perfect
I should be angry but it just ain't worth it
One of these days, I'm gonna make it right
Tie it up good and tight

Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends
One of these nights, I'm gonna tie it up tight

I've got a suit but the sleeves are too long
Perfect fit, if I had arms like King Kong
I've got a cellar full of old suit cases
Outdated tickets to romantic places

I've got a jigsaw with one piece missing
I've got a radio with no time to listen
I've got a house with a leak in the ceiling
I've got a heart but I've got no feeling

Everything I got is less than perfect
I should be angry but it just ain't worth it
One of these days, I'm gonna make it right
Tie it up good and tight

Loose ends, loose ends, loose ends
One of these nights, I'm gonna tie it up tight

I'm gonna make that woman love me
Get a good job, earn some money
Buy a car with an eight track stereo
Buy a new suit, take a sea cruise
Fix my house the way that I choose
Some day I'm gonna get up and go, go, go
Go, go, mmm, mmm

Loose ends, loose ends
Loose ends, loose ends
Tying up a loose end, tying up a loose end
Tying up a loose end, tying up a loose end, ah
