Lyrics

Well, 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 'til you learn to bend the rules And time respects no person, and what you lift up, must fall They're waitin' outside to claim my tumblin' walls Saw my picture in the paper Read the news around my face And now some people don't Wanna treat me the same When the walls come tumblin' down When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' down (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) 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 having for years Don't confuse the problem with the issue, girl, it's perfectly clear Just for 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' Crumblin', tumblin' down When the walls come tumblin' down When the walls come rumblin', rumblin' When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin', tumblin' down, yeah I 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' Crumblin', tumblin' When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down When the walls (when the walls) come crumblin', crumblin' When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' Crumblin', tumblin' When the walls (when the walls) come tumblin' down When the walls come crumblin', crumblin' When the walls come tumblin', tumblin' Crumblin', tumblin' down When the walls come tumblin' down When the walls
