lyrics

She and I were friends but by an act of fate
We got a bit too close, that was my mistake.
I was not looking for love but love was what I found,
You can lead a horse to water but you can't keep a bad man down.

She had left her man and I was on the shelf.
We just could not help it, or so we told ourselves,
We were not meant to be together, washed up in the lost and founds.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't keep a bad man down.

You can't keep a bad man down, you can't keep a bad man down
You can't keep a bad man down, you can't keep a bad man down
I was not looking for love but love was what I found,
You can lead a horse to water but you can't keep a bad man down.

She just looked so sad and so for heaven's sake
I just had to hold her hand and that was my mistake
I was not looking for love but love was what I found,
You can lead a horse to water but you can't keep a bad man down.

You can't keep a bad man down, you can't keep a bad man down
You can't keep a bad man down, you can't keep a bad man down
