Only The Lord Knows Lyrics - You Are Not Alone - Mavis Staples

When I get feelin', hurtin' and reelin' 

It's so sad, I go to bed 

I stare at the ceiling, I dream about dreamin' 

Woke up this morning, shaking my head 

I pick up the paper, I put down the paper 

Turn on the TV, I get confused 

People on this side say the people on that side 

They lyin', say they lyin', everybody's confused 

What can you do, what can you do 

When you can't trust anybody 

To tell you the truth 

Can't trust 'em can't trust 'em 

What to do, what to do now 

Only the Lord knows and He ain't you 

I talk to my teacher, I talk to my deacon 

Talk to my sister, talk to my friends 

Hit by the wheelin', hit by the dealin' 

Hit by the feelin', it's outta my hands 

What can you do, what can you do 

When you can't trust anybody 

To tell you the truth 

Can't trust 'em, can't trust 'em 

What to do, what to do, y'all 

Only the Lord knows and He ain't you 

What can you do, what can you do 

When you can't trust anybody 

To tell you the truth 

Can't trust 'em, can't trust 'em 

What to do, what to do now 

Only the Lord knows and He ain't you 

I pick up the paper, I put down the paper 

Turn on the TV, I get confused 

People on this side say the people on that side 

They lyin', say they lyin', everybody's confused 

What can you do, what can you do 

When you can't trust anybody 

To tell you the truth 

Can't trust 'em, can't trust 'em 

What to do, what to do now 

Only the Lord knows, He ain't you 

Only the Lord knows and He ain't you
