lyrics

God only knows
The price that you pay
For the ones you hurt
Along the way
And if I should betray
Myself today
Then God only knows
The price I pay

God only knows
God only knows

God only knows
The way that I feel
Is only a part of
The way I feel
If I can’t reveal
The way that I feel
Then God only knows
The way I feel

God only knows
God only knows

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my Soul to take

Oh, God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows

God only knows when I’m not true
To the things I say
And the things I do
And if I can’t be true
To the things that I do
Then God only knows
The way I feel

God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
