Notch me on your gun, let me tell you this
Now I'm lyin' here alone in what once was our bed
This world's gonna see me smilin' again
Don't write me any letters, don't call me on the phone
'Cause you can't keep a good man down
Take it to the streets, I won't be lonely for long
[Incomprehensible] good man down
Baby, can't keep a good man down
'Cause you can't keep a good man down
Gonna dress up in the finest clothes that I own
I got news for you, baby, I don't break that easily

Oh no, can't keep a good man down
Don't knock on my door 'cause to you I'm not at home
While the radio was playing what once was our favorite song
'Cause you can't keep a good man down

Baby, can't keep a good man down
Can't keep a good man down

'Cause you can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't keep a good man down
Oh, enough is enough, I won't take anymore
Tryin' to forget all the cruel words you said
I'm taking some time to erase you from my memory
Can't keep a good man down

You can't keep a good man down
I'll be out there on the scene, hangin' with my friends
I know there's a woman out there for a man like me

Oh no, can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't keep a good man down

Now you thought you could break me, add me to your list

Can't keep a good man down
Baby, can't keep a good man down
I'm picking myself up off the floor
Sugar, can't keep a good man down
Oh no, can't keep a good man down

Honey, can't keep a good man down
Can't keep a good man down

Oh, enough is enough, I can't take anymore
You didn't even say goodbye when you slammed that door

Oh no, can't keep a good man down
Sugar, can't keep a good man down
I'm pickin' myself up off the floor
Gonna put on my best moves on every single woman I see
Oh no, [Incomprehensible] keep a good man down
Can't keep a good man down
