You Keep Me Hangin’ On Lyrics By The Supremes

    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
    you don’t really need me
    but you keep me hangin’ on

    why do you keep acomin’ around
    playin’ with my heart
    why don’t you get out of my life
    and let me make a new start
    lettin’ me get over you
    the way you’ve gotten over me hey

    set me free why don’t cha babe
    let me be why don’t cha babe
    ’cause you don’t really love me
    you just keep me hangin’ on
    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’t cha babe
    whoa whoa whoa get out my life why don’t cha babe
    set me free why don’t cha babe
    get out my life why don’t cha babe

    you claim 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
    you don’t want me for yourself
    so let me find somebody else hey

    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 usin’ 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
