Three four, ooh, take a piece of my heart ooh
Take a piece of my soul ooh
Let me live, oh yeah

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

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 asking 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 living 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), go for it baby

Let me live, please let me live, oh yeah baby, let me live
And make a brand new start
Let me live (ooh let me live), ooh yeah (ooh let me live)
Come on (ooh let me live ooh), in your heart, oh baby

(Take another piece, take another piece, take another piece (Take another piece)
Ooh please let me live (Take another piece, take another piece, 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- oh baby baby baby baby baby baby baby

All you do is take
Let me live

Ceea ce da originalitate acestei piese de pe Made In Heaven este interpretarea pe trei voci: Brian si Roger cantand pe rand in cadrul fiecarei strofe, iar Freddie alaturandu-li-se la refren. Muzica aminteste de stilul gospel (mai ales, la inceput), ritmul este bine temperat si orchestratia bogata. Mesajul se refera la nevoia omului de a fi liber, de a nu fi incatusat de nimeni ("let me live, leave me alone"), de a nu fi un obiect de pe urma caruia sa profite altii ("all I do is give, all you do is take"), de a nu trai in iluzoriu, aparenta si sentimente false ("why can't we just be friends, stop living our lies"). In schimb, pentru libertatea pe care o cere chiar de la persoana pe care a iubit-o odata, ii va darui tot sprijinul lui in lupta cu viata ("it's a long hard fight, but you can always depend on me, and if you're ever in trouble, you know where I would be").

Iar interpretarea vocala este cu adevarat foarte frumoasa. Nu s-ar putea spune ca alaturarea vocii aspre, guturale a lui Roger, a vocii clare si usor melancolice a lui Brian si a celei cu rotunjiri si modulari perfecte a lui Freddie nu creeaza un efect deosebit...
