You Keep Me Hanging On

(album: Space Cadet: Solo Flight - 1981)

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
But you keep me hanging on

Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life?
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 you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Let me be, why don't you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on
Now you don't really want me
You just keep me hanging on

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?
And there ain't nothing I can do about it

Set me free, why don't you, babe? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Get out of my life, why don't you, babe?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on

You claim you still count on me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
Don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else, hey

Why don't you be a woman 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 hanging on (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Go on, get out, get out of my life
Let me sleep at night, oh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on, oh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on, ooh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on
