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--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
|
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
|
Repeat chorus
|
|
