Only The Lord Knows - Mavis Staples

When I get feelin', hurtin' and reelin'

It’s so sad, I go to bed

I stare at the ceiling, I dream about dreamin'

Woke up this morning, shaking my head

I pick up the paper, I put down the paper

Turn on the TV, I get confused

People on this side say the people on that side

They lyin', say they lyin', everybody’s confused

What can you do, what can you do

When you can’t trust anybody

To tell you the truth

Can’t trust 'em can’t trust 'em

What to do, what to do now

Only the Lord knows and He ain’t you

I talk to my teacher, I talk to my deacon

Talk to my sister, talk to my friends

Hit by the wheelin', hit by the dealin'

Hit by the feelin', it’s outta my hands

What can you do, what can you do

When you can’t trust anybody

To tell you the truth

Can’t trust 'em, can’t trust 'em

What to do, what to do, y’all

Only the Lord knows and He ain’t you

What can you do, what can you do

When you can’t trust anybody

To tell you the truth

Can’t trust 'em, can’t trust 'em

What to do, what to do now

Only the Lord knows and He ain’t you

I pick up the paper, I put down the paper

Turn on the TV, I get confused

People on this side say the people on that side

They lyin', say they lyin', everybody’s confused

What can you do, what can you do

When you can’t trust anybody

To tell you the truth

Can’t trust 'em, can’t trust 'em

What to do, what to do now

Only the Lord knows, He ain’t you

Only the Lord knows and He ain’t you
