My intentions are good, my hearts in the right place now You see I wanna be good to you baby But sometimes I just don't know how And the hand of fate, reaches out once more And pulls me though that gate Like one hundred times before
Ooh, there are the nights, when things just work out right No one could be as close as you and me Then it all breaks down, and we can't find that common ground That's not the way, the way it oughta be baby
Why do we laugh, why do we cry Why do we feel this pain inside Only heaven knows, only heaven knows In this game of hit and miss How long can we go on like this Only heaven knows, only heaven knows But if we threw it all away It's something we'd regret someday Heaven knows Why do we do these foolish things Only heaven knows
My intentions are good, my actions are hard to explain I get misunderstood sometimes There's nobody but me to blame I've gotta speak my mind, and deal with the situation Open the lines The lines of communication
Ooh there are the nights, we really get it right Makin' love, endlessly And then there are the days, we go our separate ways As though there's nothin left of you and me
Why do we laugh, why do we cry Why do we feel this pain inside Only heaven knows, only heaven knows In this game of hit and miss How long can we go on like this Only heaven knows, only heaven knows But if we threw it all away It's something we'd regret someday Heaven knows Why do we laugh, why do we cry Why do we feel this pain inside Only heaven knows, only heaven knows In this game of hit and miss How long can we go on like this Only heaven knows, only heaven knows But if we threw it all away It's something we'd regret someday Why do we do these foolish things Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
