Setting Me Up
By mark knopfler
You say Im the greatest and bound for glory.
Well the word is out and I learned.
I got the latest side of the story;
Youre 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 Ive 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.
You think I care about your reaction,
You think I dont understand.
All you wanted was a piece of the action,
Now you talk about another man.

Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law
Stands to reason Ive got to leave you alone
What you take me for
Youre setting me up to put me down
Youre making me out to be your clown
Youre just setting me up to put me down
You better give it up
Quit your messing around
You think I care about your reaction
You think I dont understand

Reaction To Action
(spoken: check 1, 1, 1)
Alright
Its hard getting through to me
Im truly elusive
I got my own point of view
I am the one of a kind
And I tell you lil girl
Im fascinated by you
Theres something about you
That makes all the difference
Like the night is to day
Well I can get along without you
But I know that within you
Youve got what Im missing
And Ill find a way
To get reaction to action
Hey, say the word that would thrill me
Yeah, I need reaction to action
Just one look that would kill me
You got a way of drawing attention to you
You know you stand out in a crowd
But the way that you play
With any mans affections
Should never be allowed
See I consider myself
The one who will show you
Id go as far as to say
Girl, I aint leaving here without you
But you better understand
Theres only one rule in this game were gonna play
And thats reaction to action
Maybe like a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
One look that would kill me
Give me reaction to action
Its getting late Id better make a definite move
Reaction to action
And after that baby, its up to you
I need reaction to action
Just a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
You know what Im talking about
Give me some reaction to action
You got a look, you got a way thatll kill me
Reaction to action, reaction to action, action
Baby, dont think about it, just react
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action

A Little More Love
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Measure for measure
Your loves so much pleasure
Like a haunting melody
It came inside and captured me
And Im so happy
Youre the rhythm of my life
You and I together will stand the test of time
(you know how to love me)
Give me more love, give me more time
I cant understand it
Maybe youve found someone new
Tell me what did I do wrong
What did I do
Looking into your eyes now
I dont see the love we had
I dont see compassion
I dont see anything
(chorus)
Give me just a little more love
Some more to tide me over
Give me just a little more passion
Give me just a little more love
And a little more time
I dont see the reason
Why you should be so unfair
But I have seen it coming
Seen it hanging in the air
Baby when you hold me
You dont touch me like you did
But still I want you by my side
Baby Ill do anything
(chorus)
I can see youre slipping away from me
But I still feel the magic sometimes
When we touch
You and me, it has to be
cos baby without you I dont think that I can carry on

Love Dont Love You
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care
Verse 1:
You said youd always be there
You said youd always care
You always comfort me
You used to share things with me
You used to have time for me
Now it all seemed to end
I cant control my fears
Neither hold back tears
Knowing that somethings wrong, yeah
The more that I fight with you
The more I realize
It takes more than love
To satisfy my life
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (its got to be you, baby)
Love dont love you, love dont care (not love, baby)
Verse 2:
I thought I never would see
The day that you and me
Could not communicate
It came to my surprise
The only reason why
We misused the four-letter words
I should have known the signs
Instead I was blind
Ignoring what people would say
When will I ever learn
Cant blame it all on one word
Some words can seem more brutal than kind
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care (love dont love you)
Love dont love you, love dont care (got to be you)
Love dont love you (love dont care about you, no way, no way, no way)
Love dont care no way
Bridge:
You see it takes a fool to learn
That love dont love nobody (got to be you)
But Ive learned
That love dont love me
And it sure cant love you (can only be you, oh)
So what are you gonna do
Dont just say you love me (baby)
You got to show me (show me that you care)
So where do we go from here
You tell me
You got to show me that you love me
Show me that you care
I need to know that you will always be there
Im gonna be there for you
Love dont love no one
And it sure dont care
Love dont love nobody
You should take my advice
Show me that you love me
Show me that you care, baby
Chorus:
Love dont love you, love dont care
Love dont love you, love dont care
(repeat chorus)

Freedom
Every day I hear a different story
People say that youre no good for me
Sow you lover with another
Shes making a fool of you
If you loved me baby, youd deny it
But you laugh and tell me I should try it
Tell me Im a baby and I dont understand
But you know that Ill forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
As long as were together
And you do
Chorus:
I dont want your freedom
I dont want to play around
I dont want nobody, baby
Part time love just brings me down
I dont want your freedom
Girl, all I want right now is you
Like a prisoner who has his own key
But I cant escape until you love me
I just go from day to day
Knowing all about the other boys
(oh oh ...)
You take my hand and tell me Im a fool
To give you all that I do
I bet you someday, baby
Someone says the same to you
But you know that Ill forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as were together
And you do
Chorus:
Youre hurting me, baby
Youre hurting me, baby
Oh oh ...
Youre hurting me, baby
Youre hurting me, baby
But you know that Ill forgive you
Just this once, twice, forever
cos baby, you could drag me to hell and back
Just as long as were together
And you do

I dont want your

Its Over Now
What is this?
Numbers in your pocket
I remember when you
Used to throw those things away
Why do you wanna keep in touch now?
Who gave you a reason?
To act so shady
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Ooh, thats how much I care for you
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that aint cool
Yes I dont understand baby yeah
[1] - baby its a shame we gotta go through this
We cant even talk
Girl we dont even kiss
I never wouldve thought
Wed be breaking up like this
But its over now
Its over now
You think that I dont know whats going on
Cause youre always home alone
And Im always out of town
You need to stop trying to play me
Cause you cant even fade me
I know youre messing around baby
Baby you know
You can call me anytime
Anything you needed I would give it to you
Thats how much I care for you baby
You wanna act now
Never call me back now
Turning off your cell phone
Girl you know that aint cool
Oh I dont understand baby
[repeat 1 (2x)]
Baby its a shame
A shame that we go through
The things that we go through
When youre in love with me
And Im in love with you
I think that we should talk about our problems
Instead of running away
Oh baby its a shame
We couldnt work it out
Forgot what love was all about
And the feelings we had from the start
My heart will always be with you, oh
Girl its over
[repeat 1 till end]

One More Chance
I turned around too late to see the fallen star
I fell asleep and never saw the sun go down
I took your love for granted
Thought luck was always on my side
I turned around too late and you were gone
Chorus:
So give me one more chance
Darlin if you care for me
Let me win your love
cause you were always there for me
If you care for me,
Be there for me
I like to play the queen of hearts and never thought Id lose
I rolled the dice but never showed my hand
I planned it out so perfectly,
So youd never leave a girl like me
I was a fool, but now I understand
(chorus)
Here is the law of the land
You play with fire and youll get burned
Here is the lesson Ive learned
That you dont know what youve got til its gone
(chorus, without last two lines)
Gimme one more chance
Tell me that its not too late
Let me win your love
Darlin please dont hesitate
If you care for me,
Be there for me
Give me one more chance

Quit Breaking My Heart
You were my first slow dance
Thought that we had a chance
But together was too hard for you
Hanging out with your friends

All I need is for you to be true

When you're not around
I want you there
And you need to stop
Breaking my heart

Something about you boy
Nothing seems to be quite like this
Holding your hand
Touching my face
Standing here waiting for our first kiss
I know you care
But it's just not there
When you're not around
I want you there
And you need to stop

Over The Top
Music :matthias jabs
Lyrics:matthias jabs
Down in the city
Where the girls look pretty
Some just like a miracle
Theyre so attractive
So hyperactive
But theyre cool and they talk cynical
Give me a chance
I dont want romance
Dont be so serious (oh nooo)
Lets get some action
Some real satisfaction
Youre so mysteroius
I cant wait any longer
Tonights the night
I want you to show me baby
Tonights the night
Now is the time, the time to go over the top
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around
Move around, around, around
Down in the city
Where the girls are pretty
Some just like a miracle
Oooh, Im on the road
Get out of control
Im losing my mind
Its time to get wild
Tonights the night
I want you to show me baby
Tonights the night
Now is the time, the time to go over the top
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around
Move around, around, around
Tonights the night
I want you to show me baby
Tonights the night
Now is the time, the time to go over the top
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around (over the top)
Youre running me down
And dont you ever stop messing around
Move around, around, around.

Theres nothing that can harm me Im a winner
All the way,
If I take notice of what the words tell me,
Its not too long before Im caught out in the

Youre the only one who can take me back again.
Taking me back, making me one with you,
Taking me back, making me new.
Taking me back, even when Ive been done

Taking me back, you keep pulling me through,
To the love that wont give up - with you

See my world turned it upside down,
Maybe know that Im nothing without you.
Got a brand new style of living with a
Motivation,
When I know my way losing my direction.
Thats when I get hurt with no one else to
Blame
Youre the only one who can heal me taking me
Back again.
Taking me back, making me one with you,
Taking me back, making me new.

What Happened To You?
Before you started tokin you used to have a brain
But now you dont get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
Man youre really losin it
And youve really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin it
What in the world happened to you
Its bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know thats something else
I say Im not that kind of person
Im not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just dont understand
Chorus
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life
Chorus
So Ill see you tomorrow
Youll be gackin up again
Ill see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just dont understand

Dont Let Me Be Misunderstood
Baby can you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Dont you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be mad
(chorus)
Im just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord please dont let me be misunderstood
Baby sometimes Im so carefree
With a joy thats hard to hide
Other times it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then I know youre bound to see my other side
Chorus
If I get mad at you I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
But that is one thing I would never do cause I love you
Oh dont you know Im human
Ive got my faults just like any one
Sometimes I lie awake long regretting
Some foolish thing, some sinful thing Ive done

Cant Bring Me Down
My chick is driving me crazy
She thinks that Im lazy
Just because Im good at nothing all day
My baby dont get it
So my job, I quit it
Bust my ass,
Hell I barely get paid
People like to put me down
And just because I hang around
Dont they understand its my way?
Chorus:
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby you just cant bring me down
Ive seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So baby you just cant bring me...down
Yeah, bring me down
Baby Im leaving
Youve got my heart bleeding
So Im taking the easier way out
The angel in my head
Is now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk they would shout
Baby you can talk and talk
The hurt you caused, it just dont stop
I think Im going out of my brain
Chorus
Solo
I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say peace
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain

Cant you love me just the....

I Cant Believe Its Over
We should talk
Thats what you said to me
On the beach
You know the place will be
So here we sit
Together in the sand

You hope Ill understand
The love you used to feel
You say its not the same
When I reach for you
You just turn away, oh baby

I cant believe youre breaking my heart
I cant believe its over
Ooh, baby

Youre drifting out to sea
What can I do girl
To bring you back to me
There must be
Something I can say (something I can say)
To change your mind
To make you want to stay
Now youre tellin me
You found somebody new
You wanna be with him
And that hes good to you
Oh my baby

I watch you walk away
Disappearing in the dark
Youre not coming back
And its tearing me apart
I said its tearing me apart
