| 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 | 
| I wanna be good to you baby | 
| Heaven knows, |
