Lyrics
What Good Will It Do?
Verse
What good will it do to say, "I'm sorry"?
You've made up your mind.
We're caught in this purgatory,
And love's anything but blind.
When I see the anger in you,
I wonder, what good will it do?
What good will it do?
Verse
I'd crawl on my belly through broken glass,
If'd make the pain go away,
Free us from this morass, but
There's nothin' more I can say.
Actions speak louder, it's so true
So Darling, what good will it do?
Bridge
I can't do this alone
Carry this millstone
But love's worth saving
If there's still that craving
So, what do you...
Really want to do?
Instrumental Break
Second Bridge
I can't do this alone
Nothing's etched in stone
And love's worth saving
If there's still that craving
Babe, what do you...
Really want to do?
Verse
The shoe doesn't fit, and I won't wear it.
It's so easy to lay blame
We've tried the stick, let's try the carrot,
And stop the yesterday game
Forgiveness is long overdue.
Let's see what a little goodwill can do,
What a little goodwill can do.
Forgiveness is long overdue.
Let's see what little goodwill can do,
What a little goodwill can do.
