Lyrics

Baby Took A Good Man Down

Baby took a good man down
Chewed him up & spit him out like bubble gum
Baby took a good man down
Thought he struck it lucky but he struck it dumb

And though he felt he was falling
He never prepared to land
We found the parachute tangled up in his hand
Why?d she ever come around?

Some folks have the will
To accept the truth though it?s a bitter pill
And rather face the pain
Some prefer the lie as not to go insane

But when she pulled on the ribbon
And everything came unbound
We worked around the clock
To get you up off the ground
Baby took a good man down
Soon as she came around
You floated like a feather
Talking about your diamond in the rough
But I had to conclude after seeing you together
What she held for you was not enough
Now she?s out of town
Baby took a good man down

Since she?s been away
I am so relieved, it?s like a holiday
And though you?re feeling dead
I don?t think for longer you?d have been mislead

Because eventually you would have wisened up
You would have seen what I saw
Now is the time to be rising up
See past the beauty, the brains and allure

?Cause that woman took a good man down
The patients on the table
He?s refusing any help at all
Baby turned a good man bad
Now he?s no longer able
To even use a hand to break his fall
Why?d she come around?
Baby took a good man down
Chewed him up like bubblegum
