Mary J. Blige - Good Woman Down lyrics
[Mary J. Blige - Good Woman Down lyrics]
And now it's time
For me to pass on this knowledge 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 every day in every
Other young sister's fate
(Young sister, sister)
See, I'm cryin' now, mind full of doubt
Runnin' in the streets, no self-esteem
Thinkin' that used to be me what a shame
Damn, life is a mutha, it's hard to sit back
And see the same thing that happened
To me happen to you this ain't love
But here's the love I wanna give to you
It doesn't matter what they say or do (Do)
Don't let it get to you (You)
Don't be afraid, you can, you can
You can break through
Take what I been through (Through)
To see that
You can't hold a good woman down (Down)
Went through the same point of giving up
(Up, up) felt like I had enough ('Nough)
Went to the edge of the
Ledge but I didn't jump
My life will sum it up (Up)
You can't hold a good woman down
Ooh, when I used to see my daddy beat
My mother down, down to her feet
I used to say that ain't gon' never be me
(Never be me)
Now look at you, bruised up from him
Girl, recognize you're better than
Him telling you that he'll
Never hit you again girl, don't cry
Damn, life is a mutha, it's hard to sit back
And see the same thing that happened
To me happen to you this ain't love
But here's the love I wanna give to you
It doesn't matter what they say or do (Do)
Don't let it get to you (You)
Don't be afraid, you can, you can
You can break through
Take what I been through (Through)
To see that
You can't hold a good woman down (Down)
Went through the same point of giving up
(Up, up) felt like I had enough ('Nough)
Went to the edge of the
Ledge but I didn't jump
My life will sum it up (Up)
You can't hold a good woman down
Through your changes I will hold your hand
Use my songs as remedy
Whenever you're 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
It doesn't matter what they say or do (Do)
(Ooh, girl, don't cry)
Don't let it get to you (You)
Don't be afraid, you can, you can
You can break through
Take what I been through (Through)
To see that
You can't hold a good woman down (Down)
(You can't hold a good woman down)
Went through the same point of giving up
(Up, up) felt like I had enough ('Nough)
Went to the edge of the
Ledge but I didn't jump
(Went to the edge of the
Ledge but I didn't jump)
My life will sum it up (Up)
You can't hold a good woman down
You can't hold me, you can't hold me down
You can't hold me
You can't hold me down, you can't hold me
You can't hold a good woman down, oh, oh
You can't hold me down, can't
Hold me down, no, no, no
There you have it
I'm still with you, my sisters
My troubled sisters
I still have troubles too
(You can't hold a good woman down)
You're not alone
I'll always be there for you rock on
(You can't hold a good woman down)
