Setting Me Up Lyrics - Derek And The Dominos

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
