You Can’t Keep a Good Man Down

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
