John Mellencamp - Kid Inside Lyrics
Written by John MellencampTalking: (One time only, [gulp] if you don'tget it right this time, tough shit, tough shit,everybody ready, tell me when, say when yourrolling here, a one, a two, a one, two, three, die)I press my face to the windowI ran my fingers through my hairI watched my life go around in a circleAnd I realized that no body but me caresAnd I saw the hurt of my systemAnd I felt the madness of our faults conformingAnd I walked around your house for hoursAnd I could feel that you had me in some kinda of strangleholdAnd I don't know why you said those bad things about meWell it must be the way of protecting some kind of crazy prideYeah you always direct your attention toward othersAnd look you know, it's so easy to see that my wounds have been openwideAnd you can just kid the kid inside so many timesYou can just kid the kid till he grabs you by the throatAnd is choking your young ass blindAnd you just kid the kid till you're walking on the tightrope in my mymind ??Yeah, you can just kid the kid inside so many timesWell it wasn't funny, no, when I was bleeding all over the tableYeah, now as I recall, hey it wasn't funny at allBut you kept on laughing, huh, like it was some kind of party, yeaYour always looking to belittle someone to make you feel tallYea well, it's the same reaction in every situationDo you really think it's so necessary to be so meanYeah, and it's hard for me to justify my positionYeah, when everything that I'm saying can be said bad about Mr.Springsteen, yea(chorus)Yeah you knowYeah, well I really really am the first to desire you ??And I feel so
