The Overtones

The Overtones are a five-piece British-Irish-Australian Vocal Harmony boy band from London, formed in 2010. They were discovered by a Warner Brothers talent scout while working as decorators in a shop near Oxford Street, singing during their tea break. Their debut album Good Ol' Fashioned Love entered the UK Albums Chart at #16 in November 2010. However, after the re-release of the album in March 2011, it propelled to #4. They have sold in excess of 500,000 copies of their first album. more »

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 hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep a-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, hey

Set me free, why don't you, babe?
Let me be, why don't you, babe? (Ooh ooh ooh)
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on (Ooh ooh ooh)
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 seeing you only breaks my heart again?
And there ain't nothing I can do about it

Set me free, why don't you, babe?
Get out my life, why don't you, babe?
Set me free, why don't you, babe?
Get out my life, why don't you, babe?

You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else, hey

I'm try you be a man about it
And set me free? (Ooh ooh ooh)
Now, you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me (Ooh ooh ooh)
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night 
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
