John Mellencamp Crumbling Down Lyrics

Crumbling 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
