Set me free why don’t you babe
Get out of my life why don’t you babe
’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
Playing 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

Set me free why don’t you babe
Let me be why don’t you babe
’Cause you don’t really love me at all
You just keep me hangin’on
You don’t really want me
But you keep me hangin’on

You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
How can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
(And there ain’t nothing I can do about it)
Set me free why don’t you babe
Get out of my life why don’t you babe
’Cause you don’t really love me at all
You just keep me hangin’on
You don’t really need me
You keep me hangin’on

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you’ve got your freedom
You still wanna 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
You just keep hangin’ on
No you don’t care a thing about me
You’re just keep me hangin’ on

Go on, get out of my life
Let me sleep at night
’Cos you don’t really love me at all
You just keep me hangin’on

Go on, get out of my life why don’t you, babe
You just keep me hangin’on
Get out of my life, get out of my life
You just keep me hangin’on
