God only knowsというのは、大抵話し手の欲求不満や不服の感じを伝えます。 文字通りGod only knows は、神様しか知る者はいないという意味を表しますが、現在使われている理由は全ての人を見ている神様は話し手の不服がわかるからです。

It doesn't make perfect sense. It is misspoken.
It should say "God knows..." which adds emphasis to the statement that follows.
"God only knows." is a separate idiomatic expression, which means "I don't know."

Thanks a lot. Japanese people are bad at the words such as God, hell, and so on. So thanks a lot for a clear explanation.
