You Keep Me Hangin` On Lyrics

You Keep Me Hangin` On lyrics

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)

Set me free, why don't
cha babe
Get out my life, why don't cha 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 coming 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 cha babe
Let me be, why don't cha babe
'Cause you don't
really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really want
me
You just keep me hangin' on

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
And there ain't nothing I can do about
it

Woo, set me free, why don't cha babe
Woo, get out my life, why
don't cha babe
Set me free, why don't cha babe
Get out my life, why don't
cha babe

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!

Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you don't
care a thing about me
You're just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my
life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You
just keep me hangin' on...
