Can’t Keep a Good Man Down Songtext
von Randy Newman

Everybody gather ′round me
I got somethin' I wanna tell you
Listen to me
When you′re on the bottom like I am today
And those around you are losing faith in what you're trying to do
There is only one thing a man can say
You can't keep a good man down

There′ve been mistakes and I′ve made a few
But oh, what a price I had to pay
Yet still they try to push me around
But they can't keep a good man down


There may be times when I′m feelin' low
I lose sight of the dream
But that′s alright 'cause soon I know
I′ll be back on top again, runnin' things
Hey, hey

Treat a man like dirt
Give him no respect for who he is
Expect something dirty in return
Oh, they're flyin′ high up there
But they got a lot to learn
Because you can′t keep a good man down

They shame me, blame me
They're tryin′ to frame me
But they can't keep a good man
They can′t keep a good man
They can't keep a good man down
Whoa, whoa, whoa
They can′t keep a good man
Down
