I CAN'T KEEP HER DOWN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

met a girl last summer
she was quite a hummer
but then in the winter
she made me a sinner

I can't stop her dancing
drinking and romancing
I can't keep her sober
when she rolls me over

can't keep her from mischief
I'm just a statistic
one more of her fool clowns
I can't keep her down

there she goes she's on the bar
do the shimmy there you are
someday she will go too far
be her own spectacu-lar

when she wails it's like a dream
when she comes it's like a scream
turn out inside up and down
I can't keep her down

when she's willy-nilly
men turn into silly
putty in her hands
under her command

when she starts in singing
gets the bells a-ringing
my heart starts to pound
I can't keep her down

there she goes she's gone again
what did you do to these men?
like you got them hypnotized
look at all dem glassy eyed

how many slaves do you really need?
did you have to make them bleed?
swear to Satan underground
I can't keep her down

but every Sunday she goes to church
confesses all her masterwork
and when she is free of sin
starts all over again

people come from miles afar
to see her dancing on the bar
give her money in a jar
or some place in between

last night she went overboard
played them like a harpsichord
all the crowd went insane
like a hurricane

baby what you doing
driving them to ruin
overstimulated
man they're going crazy

now the place is burning
never be returning
burn down to the ground
I can't keep her down

Hell, man, I aint even gonna try....
