Interlude:

Listen...
Verse 1:
When you re on the bottom like I am today,
And those around you are losing faith,
In what you re tryin to do;
There is only one thing a man can say;
,
You can t keep a good man down.
Verse 2:
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 a-round,
,
But they can t keep a good man down.
Bridge 1:
There may be times, when I m feelin low,
I lose sight of the dream.
(Don t lose sight of the dream).
But that s alright, cos soon, I know;
I ll be back on top again, runnin things. Hey, hey.
Verse 3:
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 ve got a lot to learn.
,
Because you can t keep a good man down.
Interlude:
Coda:
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, woah, woah, woah...
()
They can t keep a good man... down.
