- Chorus 1:
Set me free, why don't you babe?
- get out my life, why don't you babe?
- 'cause you don't really love me
- you just keep me hanging on
Set me free, why don't you babe?
- get out my life, why don't you babe?
- 'cause you don't really need me
- but you keep me hanging on
Why do you keep a-comin' around
- playing with my heart
- why don't you 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
(chorus 1)
- now you don't really need me
- you just keep me hanging on
You say although we broke
- you still just wanna be 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...
Get out, get out of my life
- and let me sleep at night
- 'cause you don't really love me
- you just keep me hanging on
You say 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
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
- get out, get out of my life
- and let me sleep at night
- 'cause you don't really love me
- you just keep me hanging on
'Cause you don't really need me
- you just keep me hanging on
