Lyrics:
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 a comin' around
Playin' 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, hey
Set me free, why don't cha, baby
Let me be, why don't cha, baby
'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

Woo, set me free, why don't cha, babe
Woo, 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
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 using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
