Lyrics
“God Only Knows”
I may not always love youBut long as there are stars above youYou never need to doubt itI’ll make you so sure about itGod only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well, life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?God only knows what I’d be without you
Ooh, ooh
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do)
Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do)
Buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow, buh-bow (Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do)God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well, life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you (What I’d be)
God only knows what I’d be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I’d be without you (What I’d be)
God only knows what I’d be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I’d be without you (What I’d be)
God only knows what I’d be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I’d be without you (What I’d be)
God only knows what I’d be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I’d be without you (What I’d be)
God only knows what I’d be without you (God only knows)
