If You Only Knew - Mose Allison

Written by：Mose Allison

If you only knew all the problems

That a man like me has to face

If you only knew all the silly

Things that keep a man from his place

I wouldn't want to sing your own song

Your gonna have to lose a few

If you only knew

If you only knew all the dealing

That goes on in back of the store

If you only knew how that one that's

Got a lot can't wait to get more

I wouldn't want to cramp your style

But if you want to make it all worthwhile

You have to have your own breakthrough

If you only knew

If you only knew what could happen to

A man for telling the truth

If you only knew all the scruples

That go down in gin and vermouth

I wouldn't want to steer you wrong

But if you want to sing your own song

Your gonna have to lose a few

If you only knew

If you only knew

If you only knew

If you only knew
