| You gave me reason to be living
|
| You gave me reason to be glad
|
| You gave me reason to believe
|
| When you turned around to leave
|
| I’d lost the only friend I had
|
| You gave no warning of deception
|
| You gave no signs that I could see
|
| You built me up till I could stand
|
| So you could quietly take a hand
|
| And knock the legs from under me
|
| You push a good man down
|
| You push a good man around
|
| You keep a good man guessing
|
| With false impressions
|
| You can knock him down
|
| You can leave him lying on shaky ground
|
| But baby you will never
|
| Never keep a good man down
|
| But you gave me reason to be
|
| You gave me 'cause to carry on
|
| So all the lies that you disguise
|
| All the elements of surprise
|
| Ain’t gonna keep me down for long
|
| You push a good man down
|
| You push a good man around
|
| You keep a good man guessing
|
| With false impressions
|
| You can knock him down
|
| You can leave him lying on shaky ground
|
| But baby you will never
|
| Never keep a good man down |
