(Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Jr.) Set me free why don't you baby Get out of my life why don't you baby '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 Repeat Chorus You say although we broke up You still wanna be just friends But how can we be friends When seeing you only breaks my heart again You claim you still care for me But your heart and soul need to be free Now that you got your freedom baby You wanna still hold on to me You don't want me for yourself So let me find somebody else Why don't you be a man about it And set me free You don't care a thing about me You're just using me So get out 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 Keep me hangin' on Keep me hangin' on
