1. Why don't you take another little piece of my heart
Why don't you take it and break it and tear it all apart
All I do is give
and all you do is take
Baby, why don't you give me a
brand new start

R: So let me live (let me live) let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live and make a brand new start


2. Why don't you take another little piece of my soul
Why don't you shape it and shake it till you're really in control
All you do is take and all I do is give
All that I'm asking is a chance to live

R: So let me live...

*: It's a long hard struggle but you can always depend on me
and if you're ever in trouble hey you know where I will be

3. Why don't you take another little piece of my life
Why don't you twist it and turn it and cut it like a knife
All you do is live, all I do is die
Why can't we just be frieds, stop livin' a lie

R: So let me live...

Let me live
Please let me live
Oh yeah baby, let me live
And make a brand new start

Let me live (let me live)
Oooh yeah (let me live)
Come on (let me live)
In your heart

(Take another piece, take another piece)
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Please let me live
(Take another piece, take another piece)
(Take another piece, take another piece)

4. Why don't you take another take another piece of my piece of my heart

All you do is take (let me live)
