CHORUS:
|
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,
|
|
Chorus
|
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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Well ya pick 'em up and kick 'em down
|

|
Well ya pick 'em up and kick 'em dowm
|

|
|
You see love is my foundation,
|
and a waste of my capital
|
strong is my manner,
|
so you see I'm one exception
|
|
