I 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

Trying to forget

All the cruel words you said

All 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

You can't keep a good man down

Oh no you can't keep a good man down

Sugar, you can't keep a good man down



Gonna dress up in my finest

Clothes that I own

And 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've 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 you can't keep a good man down

Sugar, you 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 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

You can't keep a good man down

Oh no you can't keep a good man down

Sugar, you can't keep a good man down



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

Baby, you can't keep a good man down

Honey, you can't keep a good man down

Sugar, you can't keep a good man down
