You Keep Me Hangin' On
Why do you keep me hanging in the night sky
Waiting for the right time
Chasing every word that you say
You never knew it girl, but I could be your lifeline
Ever-turning burn bright
We'd be only worlds away
Let me get over you, the way you've gotten over me
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 hangin' on
You say, although it's not what you intended
You never saw the ending
Even when it's staring you down
And I don't like the way you go about pretending
Acting like we're friends when
Everybody's around
And there ain't nothin' I can do about it
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 hangin' on
Waiting for the right time
Chasing every word that you say
You never knew it girl, but I could be your lifeline
Ever-turning burn bright
We'd be only worlds away
Let me get over you, the way you've gotten over me
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 hangin' on
You say, although it's not what you intended
You never saw the ending
Even when it's staring you down
And I don't like the way you go about pretending
Acting like we're friends when
Everybody's around
And there ain't nothin' I can do about it
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 hangin' on
