You Keep Me Hanging 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 |
