Highway 101 - Setting Me Up Lyrics

Highway 101 Lyrics

"Setting Me Up"
(originally by Dire Straits)

You say I'm the greatest, bound for glory
Well the word is out and I've learned
I got the latest side of the story
I'm pulling out before I get burned

Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I can't let you do that no more
And it stands to reason I've got to leave you alone
Just what are you taking me for

You're settin' me up to put me down
You're making me out to be your clown
You're settin' me up to put me down
You better give it up (give it up)
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
Well I don't need that kind of man

You're settin' me up to put me down
You're making me out to be your clown
You're settin' me up to put me down, down, down
You better give it up (give it up)
Give it up, quit your messing around

You're settin' me up to put me down
You're making me out to be your clown
You're settin' me up to put me down
You better give it up (give it up)
Give it up, quit your messing around
