God Only Knows

(Horn-Bernges, Carpendale/Horn-Bernges, engl.: Mills)

Refrain:

Oh God only knows
Of the state that I'm in
But the beat in my soul tonight
Needs a heart to live in
And God only knows
I'm a passionate man
I long for a woman to hold
And the touch of her hand

Vers 1:

Not a thing in the world can still
This emotion inside
But the warmth of the one I love 
Lying by my side
Like an ocean I tass and turn
Crying out with desire
As the fire within me burns
Ever higher an higher

Refrain:

Oh, God only knows
Of the torment within
I can't carry on the fight
Will she ever give in
And God only knows
I'm a passionate man
For the sake of a band of gold
Third finger, left hand
Oh, if God only knows
Oh, if God only knows

Vers 2:

I could pray for my heart to hear
If she turns it outside
But there's no other love could fill
The longing here inside
Like an ocean I tass and turn
Crying out with desire
And the fire within me burns
Ever higher and higher

Refrain:

Oh, God only knows
Of the state that I'm in
But the beat in my soul tonight
Needs a heart to live in
And God only knows
I'm a passionate man
I long for a woman to hold
Will she soon understand
