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



Repeat chorus



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
