Eric Clapton - Setting me up - live at the budokan theatre, tokyo / 1979 lyrics

You say I'm the greatest and bound for glory Well, the word is out and I learned 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 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 You gotta quit your messing around
