Crumblin' Down

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 being their whipping 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 this rules

Time respects no person-what you lift up must fall

They're waiting 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

Some people say I'm obnoxious and lazy

That I'm uneducated and 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 having for years

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

'Cause 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
