Eric Clapton Setting Me Up Lyrics

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.
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/e/eric-clapton-lyrics/setting-me-up-lyrics.html  ]
  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.
