John Mellencamp 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 bein' 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 'til you learn to bend the rules
And time respects no person--what you lift up must fall
They're waiting outside to claim my tumblin' walls
     Saw my picture in the paper
     Read the news around my face
     And now some pepole don't want to treat me the same

         When the walls come tumblin' down
         When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/john-mellencamp-lyrics/crumblin_-down-lyrics.html |]
         When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

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
     Wanna put my arms around you
     Feel your breath in my ear
     You can bend me you can break me
      But you'd better stand clear

 Repeat chorus
