Tom Jones What Good Am I? song lyrics

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?
