Keep me hanging on
Set me free, why don't you babe?
get out my life, why don't you babe?
'cause you don't really love me
you just keep me hanging on
Set me free, why don't you babe?
get out my life, why don't you babe?
'cause you don't really need me
but you keep me hanging on
Why do you keep a-comin' around
playing with my heart
why don't you get out of my life
and let me make a brand new start
let me get over you
the way you've gotten over me, yeah
Set me free, why don't you babe?
get out my life, why don't you babe?
'cause you don't really love me
you just keep me hanging on
no you don't really need me
you just keep me hanging on
You say although we broke up
you still just want to be friends
but how can we still be friends
when seeing you only breaks my heart again
(and there ain't nothing I can do about it...)
Get out, get out of my life
and let me sleep at night
'cause you don't really love me
you just keep me hanging on
You say you still care for me
but your heart and soul needs to be free
but now that you've got your freedom
you wanna still hold on to me
you don't want me for yourself
so let me find somebody else
Set me free, why don't you babe?
get out my life, why don't you babe?
'cause you don't really love me
you just keep me hanging on
Why don't you be a man about it and set me free
now you don't care a thing about me
you're just using me
hey, abusing me
get out, get out of my life
and let me sleep at night
'cause you don't really love me
you just keep me hanging on
