Randy Newman Can't Keep a Good Man Down song lyrics

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
