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
