Alabama | Lyrics | Can't Keep a Good Man Down

Thought it was forever, I thought it would last
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
While the radio was playing what once was our favorite song

Oh, enough is enough, I won't take anymore
I'm picking 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
Take it to the streets, I won't be lonely for long
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
You 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 taking 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

[Incomprehensible] good man down
Oh no, can't keep a good man down
Oh no, [Incomprehensible] 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
Can't keep a good man down
