Setting me up

You say I´m the greatest bound for glory
Well the word is out and I learned
I got the latest side of the story
You´re pulling out before you get burned
Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law
Stands to reason I´ve got to leave you alone
What you take me for
You´re setting me up to put me down
You´re making me out to be your clown
You´re just setting me up to put me down
You better give it up
Quit your messing around
You think I care about your reaction
You think I don´t understand
All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you talk about another man
Well the word is out and I learned
I got the latest side of the story
You´re pulling out before you get burned
Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law
Stands to reason I´ve got to leave you alone
What you take me for
You´re setting me up to put me down
You´re making me out to be your clown
You´re just setting me up to put me down
You better give it up
Quit your messing around
You think I care about your reaction
You think I don´t understand
All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you talk about another man
