If I go swimming, rains come down
Won't catch me crying, no
Won't spin me around
And if I'm dancing, slip a disc
I've been dancing, baby at my own risk

'Cause I've seen bad
And I've seen good, done the best I could
Nobody, no nobody's gonna bring me down

Should that monkey, oh, come around again
He can't touch me, no, no
(No, no, no)

He can't win
'Cause I will be ready down on my knees
Singing, 'God almighty, help me - oh
Won't you help me, help me please?'

I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could
Nobody, no nobody's gonna bring me down
I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could
Nobody, no nobody's gonna bring me down

I got my trials, I got my pain
(Said I got my pain)
I count my blessings though
I count them gain
(Yes, I do)

Might be a rich man someday soon
(Someday soon)
Might be down and out with nothing though
But a bible and a spoon

I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could
Nobody, no nobody's gonna bring me down
I've seen bad and I've seen good, done the best I could
Nobody, no nobody's gonna bring me down

Nobody's gonna bring me down
I've seen bad and I've seen good
(I've seen bad and I've seen good)
Done the best I could, whoa yeah

Nobody, no nobody's
Gonna bring me down
No, no, no

Nobody, no, no
(Nobody, no, no)
Nobody, no, no
(Nobody, no, no)

Nobody, no, no
(Nobody, no, no)
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody

No, no, no, nobody, no, no
Not a single soul, baby
(Nobody, no, no)
Nobody, no, no
(Nobody, no, no)
