A love that's strong in mind
A love that's strong as mine
But your pee-pee's hangin' on
But you keep me hangin' on
Get on me, why don't you babe?
Set me free, why don't you babe?
Get out of my car, why don't you, baby?
Get off my life, why don't you, baby?
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sit back now.
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night.
Girl, get out of my life
Get out, get out of my life
Let me stand next to an ocean wave
Set me free why dontcha babe
No, no, no
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Such a freak, why don't you, baby?
Set me free, why don't you, baby?
Well, don't shake it out of my life
And let me make a brand new star.
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start?
You don't want me by yourself
You don't want me for yourself
You don't want me or yourself
You don't want me for yourself
You just keep me bidding on
You just keep me hangin' on
You say you one April cluck
You say although we broke up
Get out, get out of my body
Get out, get out of my life
You just keep me hell on one
You just keep me hangin’ on
