Three, four
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
(Take a peace of my heart)
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
(Take a peace of my soul)
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
(Let me live)
Oh, yeah (ooh ooh ooh...)
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
All you do is take
Baby, why don't you give me
A brand new start
So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live, oh, baby
And make a brand new start
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 askin'
Is a chance to live
(So let me live) - so let me live
(Leave me alone) - let me live, let me live
Why don't you let me make a brand new start?
Yeah, and it's a (long hard struggle), yeah yeah
But you can always depend on me
And if you're (ever in trouble) - hey
You know where I will be
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 friends
Stop livin' a lie?
So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Please let me live
(Why don't you live a little)
Oh, yeah, baby
(Why don't you give a little love...?)
Let me live
Please, let me live
Oh, yeah, baby, let me live
And make a brand new start
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
Let me live (let me live)
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
Ooh, yeah
(Let me live)
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
Come on (let me live)
(Ooh ooh ooh...)
In your heart, oh, baby
(Take another piece, take another piece)
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Oh, please, let me live
(Take another piece, take another piece)
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Why don't you
(Take another, take another, take another piece of my piece of my heart)
Oh, yeah, baby
Make a brand new start
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
All you do is take, take
Let me live
(Let me live)
Oh, yeah, let
Let me live
