[Chorus]
Set me free, why don't you, babe
Get out my life, why don't you, baby
'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
[Verse 1]
Why do you keep on coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out, get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
[Chorus]
Set me free, why don't you, baby
Let me be, why don't you, baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Set me free, why don't you, baby
Get out my life, why don't you, babe
You don't really need me
You just keep me hangin', hangin' on, hangin', hangin' on
Keep me hangin' on
Get out my life, why don't you, babe
