Sam Harris - You Keep Me Hanging On

Set me free
Why don't you babe
Get out of my life (Let me be)
Why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
You don't really need (want) me
You just keep me hanging on

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

Set me free
Why don't you babe
Let me be
Why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
You don't really need (want) me
You just keep me hanging on

You say although we broke up
You still want to 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

Set me free
Why don't you babe
Get out of my life
Why don't you babe
Set me free
Why don't you babe
Get out of my life
Why don't you babe

You claim you count on me
But your heart still needs to be free
And now that you got your freedom
You still want to hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else

Set me free
Why don't you babe
Get out of my life
Why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
You don't really need (want) me
You just keep me hanging on

Set me free
Why don't you babe
Just let me be
You don't care anything about me
You're just using me
Get out, get out of my life
Let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really want me
You just keep me hanging on

Set me free
Why don't you babe
Get out of my life
Why don't you babe
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
You don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on

Set me free
Why don't you babe
