Now, wait a minute, long-lost friend
Everything comes around, here we go again
Ain't it a pity, ain't that a shame
You're gone without a trace, face without a name
Oh, no, not you
I don't, you do
Good God, who knows?
And so it goes
Same old story
Don't you worry
If you only knew
If you only knew
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew
Right down the middle, dog on a chain
The water from the well circling the drain
Hand on the trigger, I'm holding fire
The passing of the flame, burning up inside
Hold on, I know
It comes, it goes
Same old story
Don't be sorry
If you only knew (if you only knew)
If you only knew (if you only knew)
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew
I need somebody to take my hand
Really, what can you do?
Lead me somewhere I can lay to rest
If you only knew
If you only knew (if you only knew)
If you only knew (if you only knew)
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew
Maybe you'd feel the way I do
If you only knew
