JOHN MELLENCAMP - Crumblin' Down lyrics

rate me

Some people ain't no damn good<br>You can't trust 'em, you can't love em<br>No good deed goes unpunished<br>And I don't mind being their whipping boy<br>I've had that pleasure for years and years<br>No, no I never was a sinner-tell me what else can I do<br>Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rules<br>Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall<br>They're waiting outside-to claim my crumblin' walls<br><br>Saw my picture in the paper<br>Read the news around my face<br>And now some peopkle<br>Don't want to treat me the same<br><br>When the walls come tumblin' down<br>When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'<br>When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down<br><br>Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy<br>That I'm uneducated and my opinipn means nothin'<br>But I know I'm a real good dancer<br>Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after<br>Everybody's got their problems-ain't no new news here<br>I'm the same old trouble you've been having for years<br>Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl,<br>'cause it's perfectly clear<br><br>Just a human desire to have you come near<br>Want to put my arms around you<br>Feel your breath in my ear<br>You can bend me you can break me<br>But you better stand clear<br><br>When the walls come tumblin' down<br>When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'<br>When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down
