Lyrics You Keep Me Hangin' On - Diana Ross, The Supremes, The Temptations

You Keep Me Hangin' On

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
