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

'til 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



And 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



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



Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my soul now baby

Take another little piece of my life now baby

In your heart, oh baby

(Take another piece, take another piece)

Please let me live

(Take another piece, take another piece)

Why don't you take another piece

Take another little piece of my heart

Oh yeah baby

Make a brand new start

All you do is take

Let me live
