You say I'm the greatest, 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 do you take me for? You're just setting me up to put me down You're just making me out to be your clown Setting me up now, to put me down You better give it up (give it up), yeah, 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 Now you talk about another man You're setting me up to put me down You're just making me out to be your clown Setting me up, yeah, to put me down You better give it up (give it up), give it up Quit your messing 'round
