You Keep Me Hangin' On
Set me free why don't cha baby
get out of my life why don't cha baby
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a comin' around playing with my heart?
Why don'tcha 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 cha baby
let me be why don't cha baby
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on.
You don't really want me you just keep my hangin' on.
You say although we broke up you still wanna be just 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.
Set me free why don't cha baby,
get out of my life why don't cha baby.
Set me free why don't cha baby,
get out of my life why don't cha baby.
You claim you still care for me but
your heart and soul needs to be free,
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.
Why don'tcha be a man about it and set me free,
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me,
Boy, get out, get outta my life and let me sleep at night.
'Cause you don't really love me,
You just keep me hanging on.
'Cause you don't really need me,
get out of my life why don't cha baby
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep a comin' around playing with my heart?
Why don'tcha 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 cha baby
let me be why don't cha baby
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on.
You don't really want me you just keep my hangin' on.
You say although we broke up you still wanna be just 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.
Set me free why don't cha baby,
get out of my life why don't cha baby.
Set me free why don't cha baby,
get out of my life why don't cha baby.
You claim you still care for me but
your heart and soul needs to be free,
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.
Why don'tcha be a man about it and set me free,
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me,
Boy, get out, get outta my life and let me sleep at night.
'Cause you don't really love me,
You just keep me hanging on.
'Cause you don't really need me,
