Crumblin' Down Lyrics - The Best That I Could Do - John Mellencamp

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, and 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 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

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 

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 

When the walls come tumblin' down 

When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' 

Tumblin', tumblin' down

When the walls come tumblin' down 

When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin', crumblin' 

Down 

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 

When the walls come tumblin' down 

When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' 

Tumblin', tumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin' down 

When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' 

Tumblin', tumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin' down 

When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' 

When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' 

Tumblin', tumblin' down
