Only Heaven Knows

My intentions are good, my hearts in the right place now

You see I wanna be good to you baby

But sometimes I just don't know how

And the hand of fate, reaches out once more

And pulls me though that gate

Like a hundred times before

Ooh, there are the nights, when things just work out right

No one could be as close as you and me

Then it all breaks down, and we can't find that common ground

That's not the way, the way it ought to be baby

Why do we laugh, why do we cry?

Why do we feel this pain inside

Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

In this game of hit and miss

How long can we go on like this

Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

But if we threw it all away

It's something we'd regret someday

Ooh, Heaven knows

Why do we do these foolish things?

Only heaven knows

My intentions are good

My actions are hard to explain

I get misunderstood sometimes

There's nobody but me to blame

I've gotta speak my mind

And deal with the situation

Open the lines

The lines of communication

Ooh, there are the nights, we really get it right

Makin' love, endlessly

And then there are the days, we go our separate ways

It's like there's nothin' left of you and me, babe

Whoa, no, nothing left of you and me

Why do we laugh, why do we cry?

Why do we feel this pain inside?

Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

In this game of hit and miss

How long can we go on like this?

Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

But if we threw it all away

It's something we'd regret someday

Oh, Heaven knows

Why do we laugh, why do we cry?

Only Heaven knows, only Heaven knows

Why do we feel this pain inside?

Only heaven knows, only heaven knows

But if we threw it all away

It's something we'd regret someday

Why do we do these foolish things?

Only heaven knows

Only heaven knows

You see I wanna be good to you baby

Heaven knows

Why do we feel this pain inside

See I wanna be good to you baby

Heaven knows, oh, yeah

I want, I want

Can we go on like this?
