Crumblin Down
John Cougar Mellencamp
Well some people ain't no damn good. You can trust em you can't love em. No good deed goes unpunished. And I don't mind being their whippin' 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 the rules And time respects no person and what you lift up must fall There waitin' outside to claim my crumblin' walls. Saw my picture in the paper read the news around my face. And now some people 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. (Intro) Well some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy I'm uneducated my opinion 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 havin' for years. Don't confuse the problem with the issue girl. 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. (Intro)
