Whoa, it's me
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Set me free, ooh, why don't you, babe?
Whoa, set me free, why don't you, baby?
Get out of my life, why don't you, babe? (Ooh, why don't you, babe?)
'Cause you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin' on, oh yeah (hangin' on)
You don't really need me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why do ya keep comin' around?
Playin' with my heart
Why don't you just get out of my life
Then let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me, yeah
Set me free, why don't you, baby? (Why don't you, babe?)
Get out of my life, why don't you, baby? (Why don't you, babe?)
Because you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin' on (hangin' on)
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on, yeah
Now 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
Let me go (there's nothing that I can do about it)
No, nothing, mm
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh-ooh (whoa)
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh-ooh (whoa, it's me)
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh-ooh (whoa)
Whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh, whoa-ooh-ooh (yeah, yeah now)
You claiming, you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You still wanna hold on to me
One less, you don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else, yeah
Set me free, why don't you, baby? (Why don't you, babe?)
Get out of my life, why don't you, baby? (Why don't you, babe?)
Because you don't really want me (hangin' on)
Ya just keep me, ya keep me hangin' on, hey-yeah (hangin' on)
Hm, be nice (hangin' on)
Let me be, why don't you, baby? (hangin' on)
Set me free, be nice
Go on, get out, get out of my life (hangin' on)
Let me sleep, let me sleep at night
Get out, not you (hangin' on)
But you, get out of my life (hangin' on)
I wanna sleep at night
Go away!
