Waylon Jennings Lyrics for Song: Settin' Me Up
 Lyrics for Album: Never Could Toe the Mark [RCA Victor] [1984]
 
 
 
 14943>(Mark Knopfler)
 
 
 
 Well, you say I'm the greatest bound for glory
 
 But the word is out and I learned
 
 I got the latest side of the story
 
 You're pullin' out before you get burned.
 
 
 
 Your hands are squeezin' me down to the bone
 
 I've never seen you breakin' before
 
 Stands to reason I'm a leaving you alone
 
 What are you taking me for.
 
 
 
 Settin' me up to put me down
 
 Making me out to be your clown
 
 Settin' me up to put me down
 
 You better give it up baby, quit your messin' around.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 Settin' me up to put me down
 
 Making me out to be your clown
 
 Settin' me up to put me down
 
 You better give it up baby, quit your messin' around.
 
 
 
 Settin' me up to put me down
 
 Making me out to be your clown
 
 Settin' me up to put me down
 
 You better give it up baby, quit your messin' around...
