Jones, Tom - What Good Am I? 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?

  6. p.... r....

    He's a Legend

  7. D.... B....

    it's and i'm so sad 😢🥺😿

  8. H.... ....

    I hear guilt,remorse and anguish in his voice and it really comes through. This song fits into the "Blame" part of the album title.

  9. M.... ....

    What an amazing voice! Tom has always sung with such feeling, but I can really feel the guilt and remorse being poured out in this one. One of his best performances IMO.

  10. J.... L....

    He should do an album of bob Covers..like emotionally yours and I'll remember you...

  11. L.... S....

    BEAUTIFUL!!!

  12. S.... H....

    Still the BEST!!

  13. S.... J....

    Why would anyone dislike this, the man is actually using his own voice and none of that autotune crap!

  14. C.... B....

    He and Elvis....

  15. A.... C....

    you are very, very good! :)

  16. I.... M....

    A great cover of a terrific Dylan song.

  17. T.... R....

    surely the greatest male singer on the earth,,,,,,,,,,,just my opinion though.........peace to all.........

    T.... R....

    Fantastic man and even at this age he still belts out a good song

  18. B.... C....

    7 people dislike this? What is wrong with humanity

    B.... C....

    Bill Presley what good are they

  19. v.... ....

    That man is over 70 years old and still posseses one of the best male voices on the planet... Just outstanding, you really are a living legend sir Tom Jones!

  20. j.... ....

    ¡¡¡¡Brillante Maestro¡¡¡ Lo mejor de tantas decadas, Su poderosa e inconfundible VOZ hasta el día de hoy marca la gran diferencia. "THIS IS TOM JONES" EL TIGRE DE GALES Ruge por siempre... Unico, admirable.

  21. A.... S....

    Oh Tom... What good am I ?

  22. A.... A....

    Really, You are good Tom. No one can be copmared with his voice!

  23. L.... M....

    he is amazing and his level of quality is constantly great

  24. t.... ....

    this is a bob dylan song, and sounds quite tuneless compared to bobs original version.

    t.... ....

    Like any Bob Dylan cover, it just doesn't cut it. Old Bob is the greatest interpreter of a song, especially his own. Can't expect anyone to deliver the way the man himself does. Fair effort by Tom.

  25. J.... A....

    Better than JC :-)

  26. S.... M....

    The words in this song are awesome! And so true! God help us all to not turn away from the suffering we see!

  27. l.... ....

    the record company were shitting themselves when he done this...lol....the best album he's ever done....Tom Jones sings Bob Dylan......rock on Tommy...x

  28. D.... S....

  34. S.... M....

    Aftre the always-young and the look-I'm-still-here Tom Jones he's finally found the new Tom Jones. Congratulations, Tom. You touch me as you have touched my elders.

  35. J.... K....

    Beatiful, fantastic really !! Woow

  36. l.... ....

    its a fantastic cd, to be played over and over and over again..............

  37. J.... K....

    What a perfect song ! Such a talent .
    Greetings from Poland ! :)

  38. m.... b....

    well done mr. !

  39. J.... C....

    I have loved his songs when he was doing This Is Tom Jones. He still has it.

  40. F.... ....

    @fortheloveoftunes Was thinking the same thing

  41. f.... ....

    At first he sounded like "Johnny Cash" (fine Bob Dylan cover)

  42. n.... ....

    Beautiful song, seems as if it was written for Tom Jones to sing.His voice has a rich mellowed sound that I love. I have listened to his music for many years and loved it all, but this album is shows an awareness of soul and it comes through in the songs. God bless you Mr,Jones for many years of pleasure from your music.

  43. S.... B....

    @shazzy1347 I think Bryan Ferry is still going strong as well, at 65.

  44. d.... ....

    Fantastic! The best Tom Jones I've ever heard-love this and thanks Ethan, Booker T and crew.

  45. s.... ....

    Tom is amazing. Such talent and he sure hasn't lost anything. He is probably the only singer I can think of that still has "it" after all these years. Other great artist have tired to keep proforming and when you see them, you feel sad. They should have quit while they were ahead. But not Tom. He is still "the voice"...and I love him. I look forward to each and every project he comes out with. Keep it up Tom!!

  46. J.... D....

    Another great Dylan cover.
