Set me free, why don't you babe?
Get out my life, why don't you babe (ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo)
You really don't want me, you just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hangin' on

Why do ya keep comin' around, playin' with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life and let me try to make a new start?
Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me

Set me free, why don't ya babe?
Get out my life, why don't ya now?
You really don't want me, you just keep me hangin' on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hangin' on

You said that we broke up, you just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends when seein' ya only breaks my heart again?
There ain't nothin' I can do about it

You know I need love (set me free why don't ya, babe?)
Talkin' 'bout love (get out my life, why don't ya, babe?)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo)
You really don't want me, you just (keep me hangin' on)
You really don't need me, you just (keep me hangin' on)

Get out my life, why don't ya babe (ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo)
Get out my life, why don't you babe (ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo)
Get out my life, why don't you babe (ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo)
Get out my life, why don't you babe?
