Story Behind The Song
I had to write three songs for an upcoming session on an new female artist. I liked the title and the way "puttin' me on, puttin' me off, puttin' me down" rolled off my mind.

An uptempo country/rocker, "female attitude" song...except in this case, the girl is justified.

Lyrics
Puttin' Me On by Glenn Warren
Your ring my phone...at half past eight...
You had to see me...You just couldn't wait;
I jumped in the shower...made up my face...
Put perfume in just the right place;
Slipped on my sexiest dress for you...
Then you didn't show for an hour or two...
That ain't nothing new...And I'm gettin' tired..of being your fool.
Chorus: You're Puttin' Me On...You get me on a fast track...
Puttin' me off...You say you've got a bad back;
Puttin' me down...all over town...
Tellin' everybody I'm your personal clown;
I've been singing your song for you;
You want me to pay for the fiddler, too?
You'd better stop...Puttin' Me On...
Puttin' Me Off...Puttin' Me Down.
You tell our friends it's all my fault....
When you need sugar, I give you salt;
Don't have to explain what you're talkin' about..
I ain't to dumb to figure it out;
Buddy, I'm the one who butters your bread...
And everybody knows yo've been well fed;
You heard what I said...If you want to go, I ain't blockin' your door.
Chorus: You're Puttin' Me On...You get me on a fast track...
Puttin' me off...You say you've got a bad back;
Puttin' me down...all over town...
Tellin' everybody I'm your personal clown;
I've been singing your song for you;
You want me to pay for the fiddler, too?
You'd better stop...Puttin' Me On...
Puttin' Me Off...Puttin' Me Down.
