Duke Ellington
What Good Would It Do?
[Verse 1]
I could try once again
But it's said and done, so amen
Maybe telephone your hotel
Drop a wish or two in a well
[Verse 2]
I could do my good deed
Even right the wrong—what more would we need?
People say we shouldn't go on this way
But do we go on this way? I wouldn't know
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
But here we are still apart
Would a moment's meeting still this ache in my heart?
Are we still in love or are we through?
If we tried again, what good would it do?
If we tried again, what good would it do?
