Aretha Franklin — You Keep Me Hangin On

[Chorus] Set me free why don't cha babe Get out of my life why don't cha 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 [Verse 1] Why do you keep coming around Playing with my heart Why don't cha get out of my life And let me make a new start Let me get over you The way you've gotten over me, yeah [Chorus] Set me free why don't cha babe Get out of my life why don't cha babe 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hanging on You don't really want me You keep me hanging on [Verse 2] 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 (Get over it; baby, get over it) [Chorus] Set me free why don't cha babe Get out of my life why don't cha babe Set me free why don't cha babe Get out of my life why don't cha babe You don't really love me (You don't really love me) You just keep me hanging on (Oh, but you keep me dangling right there) You don't really need me You keep me hanging on [Bridge] 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, hey, hey Why don't cha be a man about it and set me free Now you don't care a thing about me You're just using me (You know it, you know it, you know it, you know it) Get out, get out of my life And let me sleep at night (I want to sleep at night) Because you don't really love me You just keep me hanging on Why don't cha be a man about it and set me free Man up (Man up) 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 (Get to steppin', baby; get to steppin') Because you don't really love me You just keep me hanging on (Keep me, you keep me, keep me) Keep...keep me hanging on Keep...keep me hanging on [Chorus] Set me free why don't cha babe Get out of my life why don't cha babe You don't really love me But you keep me hanging on You don't really need me But you keep me hanging on Set me free why don't cha babe Get out of my life why don't cha babe You don't really love me But you keep me hanging on You don't really need me But you keep me hanging on
