Set me free why don't cha babe

Get out of my life why don't cha babe

'cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin'on



Set me free why don't cha babe

Get out of my life why don't cha babe

You don't really need me

But you keep me hangin'on



Why do you keep a comin' around

Playing with my heart

Why don't cha get out of my life

And let me make a brand new start

Let me get over you

The way you've gotten over me yeah



You say although we broke up

You still just wanna be friends

But how can we still be friends

When seeing you only breaks my heart again



Get out, get out of my life

And let me sleep at night

'cos you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin'on



You say you still care for me

But your heart and soul needs to be free

And 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't cha be a man about it and set me free

Now you don't care a thing about me

You're just using me - hey, abusing me

Get out, get out of my life

And let me sleep at night

'cos you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin'on

You don't really need me

You just keep me - hangin'on
