Keep me hangin' on
Set me free why don't you baby?
Get out my life why don't you baby?
'Cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin' on
Set me free why don't you baby?
Get out my life why don't you baby?
'Cause 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 you 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
Set me free why don't you baby?
 
Get out my life why don't you baby?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really need me
You just keep me hangin' on
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?
(And there ain't nothing I can do about it)
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
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
Set me free why don't you baby?

Get out my life why don't you baby?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me, hey using me
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
