Intro

    

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Instrumental

     
     
     
     

Verse 3

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 

Chorus

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
