Mister you can't keep a good man down We all gotta get up in the morning You can't keep a good man down We all gotta look out for our loved ones You can't keep a good man down
No you can't keep a good man down
When hope is lost and truth is found
No you cant keep a good man down
Well all have to scurry on our way
We gotta try to make a living
Fun to have and bills to pay
But every step along the road
There are some lessons you must learn
You gotta try to love yourself
But the love of others you must earn
No you can't keep a good man down
When love is lost and hope is found
Darling you cant keep a good man down
We gotta find the words to say
If we can't bring them any comfort
There's no reason for them to stay
You gotta kiss those girls
But you don't have to make them cry
And you don't have to tell the truth
But you should try hard not to lie
Whatever you're looking for
You gotta know what to expect
If you want to be one of the good guys
You gotta have some self-respect
No you can't keep a good man down
When the battle is lost and peace is found
No you cant keep a good man down
Keep a good man down
Keep a good man down
