Ah!

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 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.
What you lift up must fall.
They're waitin' outside to claim my tumblin' walls.

Saw the picture in my 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.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

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 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 better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin' down.
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'.
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin',
Crumblin', crumblin' down.

When the walls come tumblin' down.
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'.
When the walls (When the walls) come tumblin', tumblin' down, yeah.

Wanna 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',
Crumblin', crumblin'.

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' crumblin'.
When the walls (When the walls) come tumblin' down.
When the walls come crumblin', crumblin'.
When the walls come tumblin', tumblin',
Crumblin', crumblin' down.
(When the walls come tumblin' down.)
