Today the sun rose, and
Gave the whole wide world a reason
To get out of bed, but
Tomorrow - who knows?
And yet I try to live my life
As if I have control
God only knows why
Singing makes the soul cry
God only knows why
Leaving leads you right back where you started
God only know why
We love who we can't have
God only knows why
God only knows why I try
Today a woman
A man, a soul was lost
Far too soon
But what more can I do
Besides reach out my heart
As far as it will go?
God only knows why
Singing makes the soul cry
God only knows why
Leaving leads you right back where you started
God only know why
We love who we can't have
God only knows why
God only knows why I try
God only knows why
God only knows why
Anger and hatred
Can poison pure, young minds
God only knows why
Love can say, ""I'm bitter,
I'll see you in another life""
God only knows why
Singing makes the soul cry
God only knows why
Leaving leads you right back where you started
God only know why
We love who we can't have
God only knows why
God only knows why
Singing makes the soul cry
God only knows why
God only knows why I try
