Set me free why doncha babe
|
Get out of my life why doncha babe
|
Cuz you don't really love me, you just keep me hangin' on
|
You don't really need me but ya keep me hangin' on
|
|
Why do ya keep a'comin' around playin' with my heart
|
Why doncha get out of my life and let me make a new start
|
Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me-hey
|
|
Set me free why doncha babe
|
Let me be why doncha babe
|
Cuz you don't really love me, you just keep me hangin' on
|
Now you don't really want me, you just keep me hangin' on
|
|
You say although we broke up you still wanna be just friends
|
But how can we still be friends when seein' you only breaks my heart again
|
SPOKEN:
|
|
Whoa-oh-oh
|
|
Set me free why doncha babe (Whoa-oh-oh)
|
Get out of my life why doncha babe (Whoa-oh-oh)
|
Set me free why doncha babe
|
Get out of my life why doncha babe
|
|
You claim you still care for me but your heart and soul need to be free
|
And now that you've got your freedom you want to still hold on to me
|
You don't want me or yourself so let me find somebody else, hey hey
|
|
Why doncha be a man about it and set me free
|
Now you don't care a thing about me, you're just usin' me-go on
|
Get out, get out of my life and let me sleep at night
|
|
FADE: You don't really love me, you just
