[Van Morrison - If You Only Knew lyrics]

If you only knew all the problems that a man
Like me has to face if you only knew
All the stupid things that keep
A man from his place

I wouldn't wanna steer you wrong
But if you wanna sing your own song
You're 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 wanna cramp your style
But if you wanna 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 wanna steer you wrong
But if you wanna sing your own song
You're gonna have to lose a few
If you only knew

All the dealing that goes on
(If you only knew) In back of the store
If you only knew (Only knew)
If you only knew (Only knew)
If you only knew (Only knew)
