Atlantic ATL 70.229

(Keep me hanging on)

Set me free, why don't you, babe
Get out my life, why don't you, babe
'Cause you don't really love me, you just keep me hanging on

Set me free, why don't you, babe
Get out my life, why don't you, babe (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause you don't really need me but you keep me hanging on

Why do you keep on coming round, 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, babe
Get out my life, why don't you, babe (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me, you just keep me hanging on
No, you don't really need me, you just keep me hanging 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)

Woh woh woh, woh woh woh woh
Woh woh woh woh, woh woh woh, yeah

Get out, get out of my life and let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me (hanging on) hanging 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, babe
Get out my life, why don't you, babe (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me, you just keep me hanging on

Why don't you be a man about it, set me free (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
No, 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 (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
