John Mellencamp Where The Sidewalk Ends lyrics

Oh, talk to me
Pretty girl in the corner tryin' out your sex appeal
Oh no, it won't bother me
If you talk about your TV Jims and their overkill

You can be posing
You can roll out of you seats
I know what I want, baby
But you know exactly what I need

Oh, run with me
I'll show you what life is like across the street
Oh, take me
If you want to you can take me seriously

I just wanna throw you one
Time around the block
I know those small minded people
And I know that you won't talk, not much

Don't put me on
When all it really depends
On how you see yourself
Where the sidewalk ends

Well, there goes James Richard Riley

Screamin' his redundant lines
He's such a time waster
What's his, he thinks is mine

But none of this for me or you
I got something for you better here
I got loads of dreams, everything is deep
I got laws, I got power, I got you and that's all that matters

Hey you, they think you're crazy
But I knew that the first time that you laid down
They know it's just your behavior
Well, it's hard to be a lady when you paint your face just like a clown

There's somethin' goin' on here
I don't need to hear from you
I got twenty five rings and a joker's ring
And I [Incomprehensible] been real to you

Yeah, they say, I caught you
Where the sidewalk ends
But there ain't nobody buyin' nothin'
Where the sidewalk ends
