You Keep Me Hangin' On

Vanilla Fudge's 1967 psychedelic/hard rock remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" reached #6 on the Hot 100 chart two years after the release of the Supremes' recording. While the version released on 45 RPM single was under three minutes long, the album version was extended to six minutes and forty-five seconds. The recording, done in one take, was Vanilla Fudge's first single.

Vanilla Fudge Lyrics "You Keep Me Hanging On" From The Album "Vanilla Fudge" (1967) Set me free, why don't you babe? Get out my life, why don't you babe? You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on You really don't need 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 try to make a new start? Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me Set me free, why don't you babe? Get out my life, why don't now? You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on You really don't need me, you just keep me hanging on You said when we broke up, you just want to be friends But how can we still be friends when seeing you just breaks my heart again There ain't nothing I can do about it You know I need love Set me free, why don't you babe? Talkin' 'bout love Set me free, why don't you babe? You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on You really don't need me, you just keep me hanging on Get out my life, why don't you babe? Get out my life, why don't you babe? Get out my life, why don't you babe? Get out my life, why don't you babe? Writer(s): Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Brian Holland
