Ooh, take a piece of my heart.
Ooh, take a piece of my soul.
Why don't you take another
Why don't you take it and break it
So let me live, so let me live
Let me live, don't leave me alone
and make a brand new start
Why don't you take another
Why don't you shape it, shake it,
till you're really in control
All that I'm asking is a chance to live
Why don't you let me make
And it's a long hard struggle,
but you can always depend on me
And if you're ever in you
Why don't you take another
Why don't you twist it and turn it
All you do is live, all I do is die
Why can't we just be friends,
Why don't you ever leave?
Why don't you ever leave?
Let me live, please let me live
Oh yeah, baby, let me live
And make a brand new start
In your heart I'll be sad
Why don't you take another,
take another piece of my,
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
