Set me free why don't you baby
|
Get out of my life why don't you baby
|
'Cause you don't really love me
|
You just keep me hangin' on
|
You don't really need me
|
But you keep me hangin' on
|
|
Why do you keep a comin' around
|
Playin' with my heart
|
Why don't you get out of my life
|
And let me make a new start
|
Let me get over you
|
The way you've gotten over me
|
|
Set me free why don't you baby
|
Get out of my life why don't you baby
|
'Cause you don't really love me
|
You just keep me hangin' on
|
You don't really need me
|
But you keep me hangin' on
|
|
You say although we broke up
|
You still wanna be just friends
|
But how can we be friends
|
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
|
|
You claim you still care for me
|
But your heart and soul need to be free
|
Now that you got your freedom baby
|
You wanna still hold on to me
|
You don't want me for yourself
|
So let me find somebody else
|
|
Why don't you be a man about it
|
And set me free
|
You don't care a thing about me
|
You're just using me
|
So get out get out get out of my life
|
And let me sleep at night
|
'Cause you don't really love me
|
You just keep me hangin' on
|
|
Keep me hangin' on
|
|
Keep me hangin' on
|

You Keep Me Hangin' On
