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 hangin´ 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

You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again

Oh no
And there´s nothing i can do about it

Why, why you keep me holding on
I keep on moving on
Dont try to keep you holding on

You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And that you´ve got your freedom back
You wanna still hold on to me

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 hangin on
