You Keep Me Hanging On Lyrics

Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you babe
Cause you don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on

Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you babe
Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on

Why do you keep coming around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me,
Yeah!

Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you babe
Cause you don't really need me
You just keep me hanging on

Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you babe
Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hanging on

Why don't you be a woman about it
And set me free
Cause you don't, can't rethink about me
You're just using me

Set me free, set me free
Just set me free babe

Just set me free, just set me free
Just set me free babe
Just set me free, just set me free
Just set me free babe

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
