You Can’t Keep a Good Man Down Lyrics by James & Bobby Purify

Shake A Tail Feather! The Best Of James & Bobby Purify

[Verse 1]
I know baby, I'm the last one on your list
I'm holding last place on the lips you've known to kiss
It seems so hopeless, I've got so far to go
But there's just one thing that I want you to know
[Chorus]
Is you can't keep a good man down, no baby
You can't keep a good man down
[Verse 2]
I know baby, that you never look my way
But I'll keep searchin' for those right little words to say
I don't know what I'll have to do to change your mind
But someday, baby, you'll wake up and find
[Chorus]
That you can't keep a good man down, no baby
You can't keep a good man down
[Verse 3]
And now you've got me cryin'
But I'm gonna keep right on tryin'
'Til my love ticks all on you
I'll love you so much stronger
And I'm gonna love you so much longer
Than anybody else will do, no
[Chorus]
You can't keep a good man down, no-no baby
You can't keep a good man down
[Verse 4]
I'll keep climbing 'til I'm right up there on top
I love you so much, and I'm never-never-never gonna stop
I won't be satisfied 'til I'm your number one
I love you too much, and I'm not gonna be outdones
[Chorus]
No, you can't keep a good man down, no-no baby
You can't keep a good man down
I wanna tell you that you can't keep a good man down
Oh no-no-no-no (No, baby)
You can't keep a good man down
[Outro]
I wanna tell you that you can't keep a good man down
Oh no, you can't keep a good man down
