You Keep Me Hangin' On
Written by - Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier & Edward Holland, Jr.
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
You don't really need me
But ya keep me hangin' on

Why do ya keep a comin' around
Playin' with my heart
Why don't cha get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
Hey

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 seein' you only breaks my heart again

Spoken:
And there ain't nothin' I can do about it

Whoa oh oh

Set me free why don't cha, babe (Whoa oh oh)
Get out of my life why don't cha, babe (Whoa oh oh)
Set me free why don't cha, babe
Get out of my life why don't cha, babe

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul need to be free
And now that you've got your freedom
You want to still hold on to me
You don't want me or yourself
So let me find somebody else
Hey hey

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 usin' me
Go on
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night

You don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on...
