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 doncha get out of my life and 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..let me be why don't you babe?
Cause you don't really love me..you just keep me hanging on, ooo, ooo.
Now you don't really want me..you just keep me hanging on.
You say although we broke up, you still want to be just friends.
But how can we still be friends, when seein' you only breaks
my heart again? (Spoken: )And there ain't nothing I can do about it.
Whoa-oh-oh, set me free..why don't you babe?
Whoa-oh-oh, get out of my life..why don't you babe?
Whoa-oh-oh, set me free..why don't you babe?
Get out of my life, why don't you babe?
You claim you still care for me but your heart and soul need to be free.
And now that you've got your freedom, you want to still hold on to me.
You don't want me for yourself, so let me find somebody else, hey hey.
Why don't you be a man 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.
You don't really love me..you just keep me hanging on..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
