John Mellencamp Crumblin` Down Lyrics

Crumblin` Down Lyrics

Some people ain't no damn good
You can't trust 'em, you can't love em
No
good deed goes unpunished
And I don't mind being their whipping boy
I've
had that pleasure for years and years
No, no I never was a sinner-tell me
what else can I do
Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this
rules
Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
They're waiting
outside-to claim my crumblin' walls

Saw my picture in the paper
Read
the news around my face
And now some peopkle
Don't want to treat me the
same

When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin'
crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

Some people say
I'm obnoxious and lazy
That I'm uneducated and my opinipn means
nothin'
But I know I'm a real good dancer
Don't need to look over my
shoulder to see what I'm after
Everybody's got their problems-ain't no new
news here
I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years
Don't
confuse the problem with the issue, girl,
'Cause it's perfectly
clear

Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms
around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me You can break
me
But you better stand clear

When the walls come tumblin'
down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
When the walls come tumblin'
tumblin' down
