I thought it was forever
I thought it would last
I gotta try to make it
a page of my past
You didn't even say goodbye
when you slammed that door
Now I'm lyin' here alone
in what once was our bed
Tryin' to forget
all the cruel words you said
Oh the radio is playin'
what once was
our favorite song
Oh enough is enough
I won't take anymore
I'm pickin' myself
up off the floor
'Cause you can't keep
a good man down
Can't keep a good
man down oh no
Can't keep a good
man down baby
Can't keep a good man down
Gonna dress up in the finest
clothes that I own
And take it to the streets
I won't be lonely no more
I'm gonna put
on my best moves
On every single woman I see
Now you thought
you could break me
Add me to your list
notch me on your gun
Let me tell you this
I got news for you baby
I don't break that easily
'Cause you can't keep
a good man down
Can't keep a good
man down oh no
Can't keep a good
man down baby
Can't keep a good man down
I'll be out there on the scene
hangin' with my friends
This world's gonna
see me smilin' again
I'm takin' some time
to erase you from my memory
Don't write me any letters
Don't call me on the phone
Don't knock on my door
'Cause to you I'm not at home
I know there's a woman
out there for a man like me
'Cause you can't keep
a good man down
Can't keep a good
man down oh no
Can't keep a good
man down baby
Can't keep a good man down
Oh enough is enough
I won't take anymore
I'm pickin' myself
up off the floor
'Cause you can't keep
a good man down
Can't keep a good
man down oh no
Can't keep a good
man down baby
Can't keep a good man down
Can't keep a good man down
Can't keep a good
man down oh no
Can't keep a good
man down baby
Can't keep a good man down
