Kid Inside Lyrics - John Mellencamp

[Talking:] 

(One time only, (gulp) if you don't 

Get it right this time, tough shit, tough shit, 

Everybody ready, tell me when, say when your 

Rolling here, a one, a two, a one, two, three, die) 

I press my face to the window 

I ran my fingers through my hair 

I watched my life go around in a circle 

And I realized that no body but me cares 

And I saw the hurt of my system 

And I felt the madness of our faults conforming 

And I walked around your house for hours 

And I could feel that you had me in some kinda of stranglehold

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

And I don't know why you said those bad things about me 

Well it must be the way of protecting some kind of crazy pride 

Yeah you always direct your attention toward others 

And look you know, it's so easy to see that my wounds have been open wide 

[Chorus:] 

And you can just kid the kid inside so many times 

You can just kid the kid till he grabs you by the throat 

And is choking your young ass blind 

And you just kid the kid till you're walking on the tightrope in my my 

Mind? 

Yeah, you can just kid the kid inside so many times 

Well it wasn't funny, no, when I was bleeding all over the table 

Yeah, now as I recall, hey it wasn't funny at all 

But you kept on laughing, huh, like it was some kind of party, yea 

Your always looking to belittle someone to make you feel tall 

Photos 

Yea well, it's the same reaction in every situation 

Do you really think it's so necessary to be so mean 

Yeah, and it's hard for me to justify my position 

Yeah, when everything that I'm saying can be said bad about Mr. 

Springsteen, yea 

[Chorus] 

Yeah you know 

Yeah, well I really really am the first to desire you? 

And I feel so badly for his misery? 

Well I'll don't throw five dollars, to get into the kitty? 

And I'll bet my ass that this problem isn't me 

Now now don't get me wrong wrong 

Hey now don't you feel sorry, yeah 

'Cause there's no one dead or alive that I'd rather be 

And I've learned to deal with my mortal existence 

And the moral is, now don't you go believe nothing that you can't see, 

Yeah 

[Chorus] 

Yeah, and you can just kid the kid inside so many times, yea 

(Ha ha ha, we'll keep it)
