God Knows It's True Lyrics

Teenage Fanclub

Maybe I just got it wrong
Express the feelings in a song
I didn't mean that much to you
I'm given such a tainted view

I'm not bitter, you're still sweet
If I'm the bones, then you're the meat
I'd like to spend some time with you
Cause everything's got in a stew

God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.
God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.

God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.
God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.

Singing with a different band
Playing with a different hand
Somebody broke into my house
Stole the words out of my mouth

Baby said I've got it wrong
I sang the feelings in a song
And if they don't mean a thing to you
A lot you say is nothing new

God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.
God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.

God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.
God knows it's true, but I think that the devil knows it too.
