You Keep Me Hangin' On lyrics
by The Supremes



Set me free, why don'tcha, babe?

Get out of my life, why don'tcha, 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-comin' around

Playin' with my heart?

Why don'tcha 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'tcha, babe?

Let me be, why don'tcha, babe? (oooh)

'Cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin' on (oooh)

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?



And there ain't nothin' I can do about it.



Whoa whoa whoa

(Set me free, why don'tcha, babe?)

Whoa whoa whoa

(Get out of my life) Why don'tcha, babe? (oooh)

Set me free, why don'tcha, babe?

Get out of my life, why don'tcha, 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 onto me

You don't want me for yourself

So, let me find somebody else

Hey hey



Why don'tcha 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

Please!



'Cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin' on

(fade out)
