[Chorus]
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 hanging on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hanging on

[Verse 1]
Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart
Why don't cha get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me, yeah

[Chorus]
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 hanging on
You don't really want me
You keep me hanging on

[Verse 2]
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
(Get over it; baby, get over it)
[Chorus]
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
You don't really love me
(You don't really love me)
You just keep me hanging on
(Oh, but you keep me dangling right there)
You don't really need me
You keep me hanging on

[Bridge]
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
Hey, hey, hey

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
(You know it, you know it, you know it, you know it)
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night (I want to sleep at night)
Because you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
Why don't cha be a man about it and set me free
Man up (Man up)
You don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
(Get to steppin', baby; get to steppin')
Because you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
(Keep me, you keep me, keep me)
Keep...keep me hanging on
Keep...keep me hanging on
[Chorus]
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
You don't really love me
But you keep me hanging on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hanging on
Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
You don't really love me
But you keep me hanging on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hanging on
