Lyrics

Set me free, why dont cha babe
Get out my life, why dont cha babe
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on
You dont really need me
But you keep me hangin on

Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why dont you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way youve gotten over me

Set me free, why dont cha babe
Let me be, why dont cha babe
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on
Now you dont 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 seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there aint nothing I can do about it

Woo, set me free, why dont cha babe
Woo, get out my life, why dont cha babe
Set me free, why dont cha babe
Get out my life, why dont cha babe

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that youve got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You dont want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else hey!

Why dont you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you dont care a thing about me
Youre just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on...

I wouldn't say they're shit, they're alright; but they are shit compared to the supremes.
