Lyrics:

You Keep Me Hangin' On

artists The Supremes (Peak Billboard Position #1 In 1966)
words And Music By Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, And Eddie Holland

set Me Free Why Doncha Babe
get Out Of My Life Why Doncha Babe
cuz You Don't Really Love Me, You Just Keep Me Hangin' On
you Don't Really Need Me But Ya Keep Me Hangin' On

why Do Ya Keep A'comin' Around Playin' 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 Doncha Babe
let Me Be Why Doncha Babe
cuz You Don't Really Love Me, You Just Keep Me Hangin' On
now You Don't Really Want Me, You Just Keep Me Hangin' On

you Say Although We Broke Up You Still Wanna Be Just Friends
but How Can We Still Be Friends When Seein' You Only Breaks My Heart Again
spoken

whoa-Oh-Oh

set Me Free Why Doncha Babe (Whoa-Oh-Oh)
get Out Of My Life Why Doncha Babe (Whoa-Oh-Oh)
set Me Free Why Doncha Babe
get Out Of My Life Why Doncha 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 Or Yourself So Let Me Find Somebody Else, Hey Hey

why Doncha Be A Man About It And Set Me Free
now You Don't Care A Thing About Me, You're Just Usin' Me-Go On
get Out, Get Out Of My Life And Let Me Sleep At Night

fade You Don't Really Love Me, You Just
