John Mellencamp - Crumblin' Down

Saw my picture in the paper

But I know I'm a real good dancer

When the walls come tumblin' tumblin' down

No good deed goes unpunished

Some people ain't no damn good

That I'm uneducated and my opinion means nothin'

Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl,

When the walls come tumblin' down

Don't need to look over my shoulder to see what I'm after

No, no I never was a sinner-tell me what else can I do

You can't trust 'em, you can't love em

Second best is what you get-till you learn to bend this rules

They're waiting outside-to claim my crumblin' walls

Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy

Walls come tumbling down

Everybody's got their problems-ain't no new news here

I've had that pleasure for years and years

Walls come tumbling down

Feel your breath in my ear

When the walls come tumblin' down

You can bend me, you can break me

Don't want to treat me the same

Want to put my arms around you

When the walls come crumblin' crumblin'

Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall
