3. Setting Me Up (3:19)
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 do you take me for?
You're just setting me up to put me down
You're just making me out to be your clown
Setting me up now, to put me down
You better give it up (give it up), yeah, 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
You're setting me up to put me down
You're just making me out to be your clown
Setting me up, yeah, to put me down
You better give it up (give it up), give it up
Quit your messing 'round
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 do you take me for?
You're just setting me up to put me down
You're just making me out to be your clown
Setting me up now, to put me down
You better give it up (give it up), yeah, 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
You're setting me up to put me down
You're just making me out to be your clown
Setting me up, yeah, to put me down
You better give it up (give it up), give it up
Quit your messing 'round
