John Prine – God Only Knows lyrics
[Verse 1]
God only knows the price that you pay
For the ones you hurt along the way
If I should betray myself today
Then God only knows the price I pay

[Chorus]
God only knows
God only knows

[Verse 2]
God only knows the way that I feel
Is only a part of the way that I feel
If I can’t reveal that way that I feel
Then God only knows the way that I feel

[Chorus]
God only knows
God only knows

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
God only knows
