You Keep Me Hangin’ On Lyrics

[Chorus]
Set me free why don't you, baby
Get out of my life why don't you, baby
You really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on

[Verse 1]
Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And help me to make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way you got over me

[Chorus]
Set me free why don't you, baby
Get out of my life why don't you, baby
You really don't want me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on

[Verse 2]
You said when we broke up
You just wanted to be friends
Tell me, how can we still be friends
When seeing you just breaks my heart again
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You really don't need me
You just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me, baby
You just keep me hanging on
Set me free why don't you, baby
Set me free why don't you, baby
Get out of my life why don't you, honey
You just keep me hanging on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
