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 for long 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, sugar 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 can't take anymore I'm pickin' myself up off the floor 'Cause you can't keep a good man down, baby Can't keep a good man down, honey Can't keep a good man down, sugar 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 no Can't keep a, can't keep a good man down, oh no 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, oh no Can't keep a good man down
