LyricMeaning

Crumblin Down
Mellencamp John Cougar

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'

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

Want to 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

When the walls come tumblin' down

When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'

When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down
