Song Description

The lengths he would go to..but to no avail. It would do no good

Lyrics

IT WOULD DO NO GOOD - Copyright Earl.C.Webb


Funny how I assume that
Things would always stay the same, and that nothing would ever change
Then suddenly there's emptiness where you used to be


I'd stand out in the rain for you
Take any sort of pain for you
Go to the moon and back again for you, but it would do no good

I'd climb and lose my grip for you
Swim the Mississipp' for you
They could pull me out all cold and blue, but it would do no good

Was that your voice I heard?
Was that your footsteps coming down the stairs to say good morning?
What I wouldn't give to have things back the way they were

I'd play like BB King for you
The songs that I could sing to you
I'd be anything you want me to, but it would do no good

I'd dance like Fred Astaire for you
Promise I'd be there for you
I'd walk right to the chair for you, but it would do no good

solo

I'd give up my last meal for you
Lie and cheat and steal for you
Maybe I'd even kill for you, but that would do no good

I'd swear that black is white for you
Even lose my sight for you
But that fate's reserved for the chosen few, and I know it would do no good
