Setting Yourself Up Lyrics - Ennismore/journey - Colin Blunstone

If I were you and I should 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 'fore it's too late 

She's a mean man-eating machine 

I can't understand how you haven't seen 

You're just setting your self up to be shot down 

And everybody knows it 

No one's going to laugh 

If you walk out of her 

You're just setting yourself up 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 

But she takes them up then tears them apart 

It's happened to other people too 

Now would I ever lie to you 

Don't you worry after your gone 

I'll make sure she's not alone 

If you can believe everything I say 

You didn't deserve her anyway 

You're just setting yourself up 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 up to be shot down 

And though you never show it 

Surely you can see 

Everybody's waiting for you to go
