If You Only Knew Lyrics - A Sense Of Wonder - Van Morrison

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.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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.
