God Only Knows
The Beach Boys Lyrics
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I'd be without you (what I'd be without you)
God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I'd be without you (what I'd be without you)
God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I'd be without you (what I'd be without you)
God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows)
God only knows what I'd be without you (what I'd be without you)
God only knows what I'd be without you

"God Only Knows" is a song by American band The Beach Boys. It is the eighth track on the group's eleventh studio album Pet Sounds (1966), and one of their most widely recognized songs. "God Only Knows" was composed and produced by Brian Wilson, with lyrics by Tony Asher, and the lead vocal was sung by Carl Wilson.
The song broke new ground in many ways. It was one of the first commercial pop songs to use the word 'God' in its title. The song was also far more technically sophisticated than anything the Beach Boys Read Full Bio"God Only Knows" is a song by American band The Beach Boys.

The song broke new ground in many ways. It was one of the first commercial pop songs to use the word 'God' in its title. The song was also far more technically sophisticated than anything the Beach Boys, or arguably any pop group, had ever attempted before - particularly the complicated melodic structure and vocal harmonies. As producer, Brian Wilson also used many unorthodox instruments for the genre, including the harpsichord and French horns that are heard in the song's famous introduction. And then we still haven't touched on those intricate chord changes combined with the off-tone descending bassline. Man, this song is really out there!
Mojo magazine ranked the song as the 13th greatest song of all time. Pitchfork Media named it the best song of the 1960s. The song is 25th on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.

Lyrics:
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living to me
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living to me
God only knows what I’d be without you
God only knows what I’d be without you
Your Friend
No one, not a single person is gonna comment on how weird and all over the place the lyrics are?? At times almost passive aggressive and contradictory.
/I may not always love you
/god only knows what I’d be without you
/Life would still go on believe me
/What good would living do me?
Um?? Make up your mind boys.

This is, without a doubt in my mind, the most beautiful song ever made.

@Brysong Since your question is rife with the veneers of an elephant sized onion, and laden with the complexities of a thousand lifetimes, I will give unto you the immortal words of the Ink Spots, "To each his own."
Brysong
@The Batman ok good just making sure you had takin everything into consideration first. Now my problem is how in the hell is this better than here comes the sun?
The Batman
@Brysong No, not once in my life have I ever listened to any other song other than God only knows. #yourquestioniswack!
Brysong

The Batman
@Dc Krow Most likely, yes

I used to listen to this song in late 1966 with my girlfriend, when we were both students at UCLA. It was "our song". We were happy.The following year, as a young Army lieutenant, I was sent to fight in Vietnam and my life changed forever. Those days and my girlfriend are long gone but this wonderful song always reminds me of that time and still brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting.
