During the writing session, Mark and I felt very strongly that the song should be titled "CAN'T Keep A Good Girl Down" ... an obvious word-play on the cliche "you can't keep a good man down". In particular we believed the "Can't / Keep" alliteration was one of the lyric's stronger elements. She insisted we call the song "WON'T Keep A Good Girl Down", saying that she found the word "can't" awkward to sing with her Australian accent. At the end of the day, Marie is the recording artist ... the one who has to sing the song and put her name and picture on the CD cover. For that reason, Mark and I acquiesced. Personally, I still prefer the word "can't". |

| Lyrics: |
You win and then start losing Just when you thought you'd seen it all You picked your lucky number So is it any wonder You've got your back against the wall You'll get delirious If you take life too serious You'd think by now that you would know You can't stop the world from changing But you could turn it around 'Cause you won't keep a good girl, Won't keep a good girl down I look at life it's scary So dull and ordinary Sometimes it makes me wanna scream They say that less is more But you've been there before And it ain't always what it seems You can't stop the world from changing But you could turn it around 'Cause you won't keep a good girl, Won't keep a good girl down Everybody wants happiness But sometimes it slips away It's yours if you want it You can take it back But it's up to you to find another way Why can't you let it go You've got nothing left to show For all the hell that you've been through And now you've finally found the answer You've got your feet back on the ground You won't keep a good girl, Won't keep a good girl down Oh yeah, you won't keep a good girl, Won't keep a good girl down |
