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
