[Verse 1]
There was this little knot
It found a home somewhere to be
It burrowed deep inside
Almost as if it snuggled right up to me

[Chorus]
And I can't keep it down
And I can't keep it down
And I can't keep it down

[Verse 2]
There was this branch
That seemed to stick right out of me
Not a whole tree or nothing
Just a knot, a knot tied up in me

[Chorus]
And I can't keep it down
And I can't keep it down
And I can't keep it down
And I can't keep it down

[Bridge]
No more
No more
No more
No more
No more
Down
[Verse 3]
The branch has bent its way
The weight has cut the slack
Hang, hang, hangin' from it
You just can't turn your back
