Can't keep a good man down.
Well I thought I heard a telephone honey,
And I know it's the man you love.
A-don't try to hide it honey,

You can't keep a good man down too long.
All my life, I have, given in to you.
And all your life, you have, made me a fool.

You can't keep a good man down.
I'll be back up and around.
Bet your life you can't keep this good man down.

Well I try to do the best things for you.
And I know I ain't always right.
And even though I say I'm sorry,
Why can't you treat me right.

And all this time,
You have, said you love me.
And all this time,
Now I, want to be free.

You can't keep a good man down.
I'll be back up and around.
And bet your life you can't keep,
This good man down.

Break
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

You can't keep a good man down.
I'll be back up and around.
You bet your life you can't,
Oh bet your life you can't
Keep me down,

Keep me down too long.
You can't keep a good man down.
I'll be back up and around.
You bet your life you can't
Keep this good man down.
