Lyrics
They tried to label me, table me, play on me, hate on me, yeah, oh yeah
(yes they did, yes they did)
They tried to block me, to stop me, to knock me, to drop me, oh yeah, oh yeah
(yes they did, yes they did)
I'm not conceited, I just feel I can't be defeated, oh no
You can't keep a good girl down
(You can't keep a good girl down)
Put me in the underground but you can't keep me bound, oh no
You can't keep a good girl down
(You can't keep a good girl down)
Turn this whole world around but you can't keep a good girl down
They tried to mack me, attack me, to cap me, to trap me, oh yeah, oh yeah
(yes they did, yes they did)
They tried to chain me, to frame, to maim me, to blame me, oh yeah, oh yeah
(yes they did, yes they did)
It's my time to shine, with this little light of mine, uhm uhm yeah
You can't keep a good girl down
(You can't keep a good girl down)
Put me in the underground but you can't keep me bound, oh no
You can't keep a good girl down
(You can't keep a good girl down)
Turn this whole world around but you can't keep a good girl down
I know it's hard but you gotta stand or you will fall for anything
You gotta do, what you gotta do
You gotta show and you gotta prove
You can't keep a good girl down
You can't You can't You can't You can't You can't nohhhh
You can't keep a good girl down
