Lyrics

You think you got problems Well, when Samson met Delilah He could not deny her You can't keep a good man down She was hired to entice him A fire meant to ice him But you can't keep a good man down With unmitigated sweetness She betrayed his weakness You can't keep a good man down And the course of history shows Just ask the philistinos You can't keep a good man down No, 'cause when the odds are all against him Higher intervention can turn it all around And, oh, when Heaven lends a cup of courage Miracles can flourish And make a way to work it out You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down Ha, ha, that's right! You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down Down, no, no Now, when Jonah hit the water Someone should've hollered (Hey!) You can't keep a good man down In his mind it was depressing Time for S-O-S-ing You can't keep a good man down From the belly of the monster He prayed, "Lord, do as You want, Sir" You can't keep a good man down Three full days he occupied it Until the whale decided You can't keep a good man down No, 'cause when the odds are all against him Higher intervention can turn it all around And, oh, when Heaven lends a cup of courage Miracles can flourish And make a way to work it out, yeah You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down No way, no ho You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down Ooh, no, no Can't keep him down, no Whoa! Whoo! Yeah! I can tell you You just can't keep a good man down! Ah, yeah! Oh, 'cause when the odds are all against him Higher intervention can turn it all around And, oh, when Heaven lends a cup of courage Miracles can flourish And make a way to work it out, come on You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down Listen to the Word You can't keep a good man, uh-uh Can't keep a good man, no, no You can't keep a good man down You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down Oh, when you get down to it You can't keep a good man, can't do it Can't keep a good man, no You can't keep a good man down Even when you get bad You can't keep a good man, no Can't keep a good man You can't keep a good man down Can't keep the man down You can't keep a good man Can't keep a good, good man You can't keep a good man down No, no, no, no, no Can't keep a good man down That's right Can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man Can't keep a good man down
