|
If you only knew all the problems |
|
That a man like me has to face. |
|
If you only knew all the silly |
|
Things that keep a man from his place. |
|
I wouldn't want to sing your own song. |
|
Your gonna have to lose a few. |
|
If you only knew. |
|
If you only knew all the dealing |
|
That goes on in back of the store. |
|
If you only knew how that one that's |
|
Got a lot can't wait to get more. |
|
I wouldn't want to cramp your style |
|
But if you want to make it all worthwhile. |
|
You have to have your own breakthrough. |
|
If you only knew. |
|
If you only knew what could happen to |
|
A man for telling the truth. |
|
If you only knew all the scruples |
|
That go down in gin and vermouth. |
|
I wouldn't want to steer you wrong |
|
But if you want to sing your own song. |
|
Your gonna have to lose a few. |
|
If you only knew. |
