Tom Jones - What Good Am I
What good am I
If I’m like all the rest
If I just turn away
When I see how you’re dressed
If I shut myself off
So I can’t hear you cry
What good am I?
What good am I
If I know and don’t do
If I see and don’t say
If I look straight through you
If I turn a deaf ear
To the thundering sky
What good am I? What good am I
While you softly weep
And I hear in my head
What you say in your sleep
And I freeze in the moment
Like the rest who don’t try
What good am I?
What good am I?
What good am I then
To others and me
If I’ve had every chance
And yet still fail to see
With my hands tied must I
Not wonder within
Who tied them and why
And where must I have been?
What good am I
If I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face
Of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back
While you silently die
What good am I?
What good am I?
What good am I?
If I’m like all the rest
If I just turn away
When I see how you’re dressed
If I shut myself off
So I can’t hear you cry
What good am I?
What good am I
If I know and don’t do
If I see and don’t say
If I look straight through you
If I turn a deaf ear
To the thundering sky
What good am I? What good am I
While you softly weep
And I hear in my head
What you say in your sleep
And I freeze in the moment
Like the rest who don’t try
What good am I?
What good am I?
What good am I then
To others and me
If I’ve had every chance
And yet still fail to see
With my hands tied must I
Not wonder within
Who tied them and why
And where must I have been?
What good am I
If I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face
Of what sorrow brings
And I just turn my back
While you silently die
What good am I?
What good am I?
What good am I?
