Randy Newman - Can't Keep A Good Man Down 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 tryin' 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've 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
