Medley

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
They're dancing in Chicago
And down in New Orleans
In New York City

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin', swayin' and records playin'
And dancing in the streets

It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
Come on now, every guy grab a girl
Everywhere around the world
There'll be dancing
And dancing in the streets
Oh yeah, there'll be dancing
Dancing in the streets

See the way he walks down the street
See the way he shuffles his feet
How he holds his head up high
When he goes walking by
He's my guy
When he holds my hand I'm so proud
'Cos he's not just one of the crowd
Why is he always the one
To do the things they've never done
And just because of that they say, hey

He's a rebel, and he'll never be any good
He's a rebel, 'cos he never, ever does what he should
Well just because he doesn't do what everybody else does
That's no reason why I can't give him all my love
He's always good to me, he always treats me tenderly
And he's not a rebel, no-no-no,
He's not a rebel, no-no-no, to me

I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you've started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

Oh, you stopped and smiled at me
And asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance
Now hear me tell it
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you've started something
Oh, can't you see
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out my life, why don't you baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
No, you don't really want me
You just keep me hangin on

Why do you keep a-coming around
And playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start
And let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me, hey-hey

Set me free, why don't you babe
Let me babe, why don't you baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Now you don't really need me
You just keep me hangin' on

You say that since 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

Whoa, (set me free, why don't you babe)
Whoa (Get out my life, why don't you babe)

Set me free, why don't you babe
Get out of my life, why don't you baby
You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul need to be free
Now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold onto me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else, hey, hey

Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
You don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
Come on, come on, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night

You just keep me hanging on
