Keep Me Hangin’ On lyrics

[Intro]
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

[Chorus]
Set me free, why don't cha, babe?
Get out my life, why don't cha, babe? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

[Verse 1]
Why do you keep a-comin' around
Playin' with my heart?
Why don’t you get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start?

[Pre-Chorus]
Let me get over you
The way you’ve gotten over me, yeah

[Chorus]
Set me free, why don't cha, babe?
Let me be, why don’t cha, babe? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No, you don’t really want me
But just keep me hangin' on
[Verse 2]
You say, although we broke up
You still just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seein' you only breaks my heart again?

[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

[Synthesizer Solo]

[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

[Chorus]
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night, please (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else

[Chorus]
Set me free, why don't cha, babe?
Get out my life, why don't cha, babe? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why don't cha be a man about it
And set me free? (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
No, you don't care a thing about me
You're just usin' me, abusin' me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on

[Outro]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ah-ah-ah-ah
