You can't keep a good man down,
No, You can't keep a good down,
You can't keep a good down ,
No, You can't keep a good down,
Oh come into my parlor,
said the spider to the fly,
without this here parlor,
you can never get by
but I said I don't trust no shadow,
Trust no shadows of a doubt,
your parlor is looking nice,
but I'm not one you can tie,
Oh, I know You can't keep a good man down,
No, You can't keep a good down,
You can't keep a good down ,
No, You can't keep a good down,
Well your facing the good,
The good they die young
Well I'm here to tell you,
That you are wrong,
You see love is my foundation,
ooh my redeemer,
strong is my manner,
so you see I'm one exception
Well ya pick 'em up and kick 'em down
can't keep a good man down
Well ya pick 'em up and kick 'em dowm
can't keep a, can't keep him down
You see love is my foundation,
and a waste of my capital
strong is my manner,
so you see I'm one exception
