What Good Is A Song
What good, what good is a song? (Ooh-yeah)
What good, what good is a song?
What good, what good is a song?
What good are the lyrics if they can't soothe you?
If they can't ease a troubled mind
Oh, what good is the beat if it can lure you?
It would be a waste of time
(Ooh) oh what good is the music if it can't please you? (Oh-yeah)
If it has no depth or height (what good is a song?)
What good is a rhyme, if it can't relieve you, oh. no
Or some problem in your life?
What! Yeah!
What good is a song if it can't inspire (ooh)
If it has no message to bring? (Oh-yeah)
If a song cannot send you higher, higher, higher
Then it's not good enough to sing
You can hum a little song when you're hurt
Then feel a reason for some laughter
Or whistle a melody while you work
It will make your day go faster
Songs have been known to lift up spirits
Songs have been known to touch the soul (what good is a song?)
But when nobody ever needs to hear it
Then it's not worth the title it holds (holds), holds (yeah)
What good is a song if it can't inspire? (Oh, no)
If it has no message to bring (if it has no message to bring)
If a song cannot send you higher (higher), higher (higher), higher (higher)
Then it's not good enough to sing
If it ain't got no message
Then it's not good enough to sing
If it cannot inspire, yeah
Then it's not good enough to sing
If it can't soothe you?
What good, what good is a song?
If it cannot move you, oh no (if it cannot please you)
Ooh, if it cannot soothe you?
What good, what good is a song?
Ooh (then it's not good enough to sing)
If it ain't got no message (then it's not good enough to sing)
If it cannot inspire, yeah (then it's not good enough to sing)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
If it ain't got no message (then it's not good enough to sing)
What good, what good is a song?
Mm, if it can't ease you? (If it cannot help or relieve you?)
What good, what good is a song?
Then it's not good enough to sing
Then it's not good enough to sing
Then it's not good enough to sing
What good, what good is a song?
What good, what good is a song?
Then it's not good enough to sing
Then it's not good enough to sing
Then it's not good enough to sing

Then it's not good enough to sing
Then it's not good enough to sing
Then it's not good enough to sing
What good, what good is a song?
