setting me up

Mark Knopfler

You say Im the greatest bound for glory
Well the word is out and I learned
I got the latest side of the story
Youre 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 Ive got to leave you alone
What you taking me for

Youre setting me up to put me down
Youre making me out to be your clown
Youre 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 dont understand
All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you talk about another man
