Tom Jones - Hit Or Miss Lyrics






I was sitting down, all by myself
Listening to everybody, everybody
He ain't be like everybody else
Oh you see, I gotta be me
And there ain't nobody just like this
I gotta be me
Baby hit or miss

But then I looked at you just sitting there
All by yourself
You listening to everybody, everybody
He ain't be like everybody else
Ohh, you see
You gotta believe
And there ain't nobody just like this
You gotta believe
Oh, baby hit or miss

I was sitting down, all by myself
I was listening to everybody, everybody
He ain't be like everybody else
Oh you see, I gotta be me
And there ain't nobody just like this
I got to be me
Oh, baby hit or miss
No there ain't nobody just like this
I got to be me
Oh, baby hit or miss

I gotta be me
Baby hit or miss
You've got to believe
Baby hit or miss
You've got to believe
In yourself
Don't listen to anybody else
You got to believe
You got to believe
You got to believe
In yourself
Don't listen to nobody but yourself
Yeah
Yourself
Be yourself
Be yourself
Like nobody else
Gotta believe

Tom Jones Hit Or Miss Comments
  1. E.... R....

    (24th.7.2018)

  2. A.... G....

    Quella voce così ben gestita ti fa tremare le vene ....grazie Sir tom
    Allien omg

  3. S.... S....

    But now people prefer Jacob Sartorta

  4. K.... ....

    Wow, he murdered this track

  5. t.... ....

    Gotta love how Tom is still going strong. I never figured out why MANY more folks were not into him. He's been at it for decades - and doing it well all along!

    t.... ....

    @tm502010 Heard this today for the first time I really liked it

  6. x.... ....

    I remember back when sexbomb was #1 ! Haven't heard of him since, but I saw him on Graham Norton show, he's actually REALLY good ! :D

  7. m.... ....

    Tom Jones is a professional pantie dropper with music like this

  8. b.... ....

    AWFUL like all his music. Hit or Miss? MISS just like most of your other stuff Tom.

    I just wanted to hear his attempt, Odetta is the best version by miles. This is pony.

  9. L.... a....

    Love this :)

  10. e.... ....

    Sometimes I just listen to this and pretend im a potato

  11. T.... ....

    This song is excellent I love it.

  12. M.... ....

    Has a sound like the Traveling Wilburys.

  13. t.... ....

    I agree. But in this song, there is just a little bit of disgust in his voice and face when he sings the bit about "everybody's saying be like everybody else." Which contrasts with the smile and makes it all the nicer.

  14. t.... ....

    It is also interesting the way in which there is a contrast between Jones being "all by himself" separate from the crowd, while at the same time it could be argued that he is mooning after a woman that is also separate from the crowd. In other words, Jones replaces their need for social cohesion with, ostensibly, a one on one bond that is that much stronger for being socially exclusive.

    I say ostensibly because while Jones loves his wife he also had sex with 250 groupies a year.

    t.... ....

    She could have divorced him, but she didn't, I wonder why?!£££££££££££££££££££££££££

  15. t.... ....

    A song about individualism. But at the same time, it is a song about being who we are. What are we? We are a Tyger.

    Ubuntu philosophy

    "When you are on your own you are as good as an animal of the wild; when there are two of you, you form a community"

    When Tom Jones owns this song he is an animal of the wild.

    Tyger! Tyger! burning bright!


  16. m.... ....

    That has to be a twelve string. Works so well with his voice

  17. L.... T....

    Fantastic stuff....and he did it before the Southern Comfort ad, which is also a great rendition.....just a great song....

  29. g.... k....

  30. P.... G....

    Vocals are to low, his voice should be the prominent part of the song.

  31. d.... ....

    I think TJ is singing the songs he wants to sing and sod anyone else

  34. h.... ....

    Meaning is really nice and it's food for thought! and Tom did a nice work with it!

  35. S.... B....

    just keeps on coming up with gems !!

  36. M.... ....

    Someone couldn't put their finger on what this song reminded them of.
    It could be I really Need Love by the The Bees.

  37. K.... ....

    Nice cover... but Odetta owns this song ;-)

  38. R.... G....

    If only the Welsh could play soccer like he can sing......

  44. C.... J....

    Graham Norton FTW!!!

  47. D.... E....

    Thank The Graham Norton show for me liking this song.

  48. J.... W....

    Fantabulosa!

  49. m.... ....

    He's different to everybody else but we never find our in what way. Who are these people who go round saying you've got to be the same as everybody else? This track is witless nonsense.

  50. C.... S....

    Once again a fab tune from Sir Tom, he never fails to impress. Roll on Monday so I can buy his album!

  51. w.... ....

    This is a blatant rip off Mix The Allman Brothers - Jessica with The Beatles - The Ballad of John & Yoko.

  52. B.... H....

    This is fab.!

  53. l.... ....

    Amazing Sir Tom still knocking out an awesome tune, brilliant.

  54. i.... ....

    Aha, I know dude, I was just saying it's why people are saying it's not his usual genre.

  55. S.... ....

    good shit

  56. C.... ....

    Love this.

  57. s.... ....

    Beautiful track. Got it all. Meaningful lyrics = check, killer vocal = check, some great production = check. Keep it coming Tom, you are the Voice :)

  58. i.... ....

    It's because it's a cover of a blues 'rockabilly' track.

  59. h.... ....

    This style is unusual from Sir Tom...He is not the same, he became old.

  60. K.... R....

    Tom never ceases to amaze. He is timeless and I love him to death. I've been a fan since I was 2 and my parents took me to a concert in CA. It was love at first sight. Since then I've seen him a bunch of times and I hope to see him again before he retires. Which he doesn't want to ever do unless he has no choice but he will be slowing down I am sure.

  61. s.... ....

    What a great song! Sure starting to sound like a great follow up to Praise and Blame. I just wish Tom would sign on with someone in Las Vegas that would allow the new songs.
