No, you can’t keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can’t stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I got enough

Ooh, with lips so sweet
Our love just can’t be beat, my darling, oh yeah
A love like yours and mine
Can stand the test of time, my darling, oh yeah
But for tomorrow — tomorrow never comes
Love is the secret — goes living on

No, you can’t keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can’t stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I got enough

Just when I need you, show me the way
You came into my world — turned my night to day
What good is a man without a woman?
But for the trouble — trouble always comes
Love is the secret — goes living on

No, you can’t keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can’t stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I got enough

Ooh, your love is strong
Keep me forever, you’re my darling, oh yeah
A love like yours and mine
Can stand the test of time, my darling, oh yeah
But for tomorrow — tomorrow never comes
Love is the secret — goes living on

No, you can’t keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can’t stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I’ve got enough
