Setting Yourself Up - Colin Blunstone

If I were you and I sure would know

I’d pack up all my bags and go

She had me last time around

Oh man, she really puts you down

You’ll feel better when you’ve made the break

Do it now before it’s too late

She’s a mean man-eating machine

I can’t understand how you haven’t seen

You’re just setting yourself out to be shot down

And everybody knows it

No one’s going to laugh if you walk out on her

You’re just setting yourself out to be shot down

And though you never show it

Surely you can see everybody’s waiting for you to go

You think she has given her heart

Well she takes them up and she tears them apart

It’s happened to all the people too

Now would I ever lied to you?

Don’t you worry, after you’re gone

I’ll make sure she is not alone

If you can’t believe everything I say

You didn’t deserve her anyway

You’re just setting yourself out to be shot down

And everybody knows it

No one’s going to laugh if you walk out on her

You’re just setting yourself out to be shot down

And though you never show it

Surely you can see everybody’s waiting for you to go
