They Set You Up Lyrics

Johnnie Newman They Set You Up

How it ends, you don't remember
But you know where it began
Buried shipwrecks, sunken treasure
And all you found was scraps of tin

[Chorus]
Run for cover, it's heartbreak weather
Beg for shelter, beg for shelter
Run for cover, it's heartbreak weather, yeah
And you not come?
Oh, they set you up

Leave a message, write a letter
Put the music on your page
Spend a time apart together
Don't you ever act your age

[Chorus]
Run for cover, it's heartbreak weather
Beg for shelter, beg for shelter
Run for cover, it's heartbreak weather, yeah
And you not come?
Oh, they set you up

Now all that's left behind is embers
You can't see the light from here
How it ends, you don't remember
But you know the end is near

[Chorus]
Run for cover, it's heartbreak weather
Beg for shelter, beg for shelter
Run for cover, it's heartbreak weather, yeah
And you not come?
Oh, they set you up
