Song | Setting Me Up - Live At The Budokan Theatre |
Artist | Eric Clapton |
Album | Just One Night |
Lyrics:Mark Knopfler Music:Mark Knopfler | |
You say I'm the greatest and 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 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. | |
Chorus | |
