"What Good Is A Song" lyrics

What good, what good is a song? (Ooh 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

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
Ooh, of some problems in your life (Life, yeah)

What good is a song if it can't inspire you (ooh ooh ooh 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 (Ooh ooh, 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 you (Oh 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 you, 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, no no (if it cannot please you)
Ooh, if it cannot soothe you?
What good, what good is a song?

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 you, yeah, then it's not good enough to sing
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
If it ain't got no message no no (if it can't send you higher)

What good, what good is a song?
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
What good, what good is a song?
