MARY J BLIGE GOOD WOMAN DOWN LYRICS

(MARY TALKING)
IN MY LIFE
I SEEN IT ALL
AND NOW IT'S TIME
FOR ME TO PASS ON THIS KNOWLEGE TO YOU
All MY SISTERS
MY TROUBLED SISTERS
THIS IS MY GIFT TO YOU

BEEN MANY DAYS
COULDN'T TAKE THE PAIN
FELT I SHOULD TAKE
MY LIFE AWAY
SEE IT EVERYDAY
IN EVERY OTHER YOUNG SISTER'S FACE
(YOUNG SISTER, SISTER)
SEE 'EM CRYING OUT
LIFE FULL OF DOUBT
RUNNING IN THE STREETS
LOW SELF-ESTEEM
THINKING THAT USED TO BE ME
WHAT A SHAME

CHORUS
IN LIFE AS A MOTHER
IT'S HARD TO SIT BACK AND SEE
THE SAME THING THAT HAPPEN TO ME
HAPPEN TO YOU
THIS AIN'T LOVE
BUT HERE'S THE THOUGHT I WANNA GIVE YOU
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR DO
DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU
DON'T BE AFRAID YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN BREAKTHROUGH
TAKE WHAT I BEEN THRU
TO SEE THAT
YOU CAN'T HOLD A Good Woman Down
WENT THROUGH THE SAME POINT OF GIVING UP
FELT LIKE I HAD ENOUGH
WENT TO THE EDGE
OF THE LEDGE
BUT I DIDN'T JUMP
MY LIFE WILL SUM IT UP
YOU CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMAN DOWN

OOOOOH
WHEN I USED TO SEE
MY DADDY BEAT
MY MOTHER DOWN
DOWN TO HER FEET
I USED TO SAY
THAT AIN'T GONE NEVA BE ME
(NEVA BE ME)
NOW LOOK AT YOU
BRUISED UP FROM HIM
GIRL RECOGONIZE
YOU'RE BETTER THAN
HIM TELLING YOU
THAT HE'LL NEVER HIT YOU AGAIN
GIRL DON'T CRY

CHORUS

IN LIFE AS A MOTHER
IT'S HARD TO SIT BACK AND SEE
THE SAME THING THAT HAPPEN TO ME
HAPPEN TO YOU
THIS AIN'T LOVE
BUT HERE'S THE THOUGHT I WANNA GIVE YOU
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR DO
DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU
DON'T BE AFRAID YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN BREAKTHROUGH
TAKE WHAT I BEEN THRU
TO SEE THAT
YOU CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMAN DOWN
WENT THROUGH THE SAME POINT OF GIVING UP
FELT LIKE I HAD ENOUGH
WENT TO THE EDGE
OF THE LEDGE
BUT I DIDN'T JUMP
MY LIFE WILL SUM IT UP
YOU CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMAN DOWN

THROUGH YOUR CHANGES
I WILL HOLD YOUR HAND
USE MY SONGS AS REMEDY
WHENEVER YOU FEELING DOWN AND BLUE
I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU
TRUST AND KNOW
THAT I'VE BEEN WHERE YOU'RE AT
SEEN THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE
LOOKING AT YOU RESEMBLES ME
BUT YOU GOTTA HOLD ON

DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY SAY OR DO
DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU
(GIRL DON'T YOU CRY)
DON'T BE AFRAID YOU CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN BREAKTHROUGH
TAKE WHAT I BEEN THRU
TO SEE THAT
YOU CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMAN DOWN
(CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMAN DOWN )
WHEN THROUGH THE SAME POINT OF GIVING UP
FELT LIKE I HAD ENOUGH
WENT TO THE EDGE OF THE LEDGE
BUT I DIDN'T JUMP
MY LIFE WILL SUM IT UP
YOU CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMEN DOWN

CAN'T HOLD ME DOWN
REPEAT


THERE YOU HAVE IT
I'M STILL WITH YOU MY SISTERS
MY TROUBLED SISTERS
I STILL HAVE TROUBLES TOO
YOU'RE NOT ALONE
I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU
ROCK ON

YOU CAN'T HOLD A GOOD WOMAN DOWN
