Settin' Me Up

(album: Never Could Toe The Mark - 1984)

Well, you say I'm the greatest bound for glory
But the word is out and I learned
I got the latest side of the story
You're pulling out before you get burned.

Your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I've never seen you breaking before
Stands to reason I'm a leaving you alone
What are you taking me for.

Setting me up to put me down
Making me out to be your clown
Setting me up to put me down
You better give it up baby, 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.

Setting me up to put me down
Making me out to be your clown
Setting me up to put me down
You better give it up baby, quit your messing around.

Setting me up to put me down
Making me out to be your clown
Setting me up to put me down
You better give it up baby, quit your messing around...
