You leave me sitting here all alone
Waiting by the telephone
You act like I owed it all
And never should have waited for your call
One minute you say we’re just friends
And then you call me up again

You keep taking little pieces of me
Take everything it’s yours to keep
Each time you take a piece of me
I lay here wounded crying can’t you see
Why won’t you just let me be
And stop taking all these little pieces of me

I’m tired of acting like I don’t care
What you’re asking just isn’t fare
I’m sick of you playing games with my heart
Do you find it funny when I fall a part
Stop breakin my heart, crushing my soul
You’re killing me slowly don’t you know

You keep taking little pieces of me
Take everything it’s yours to keep
Each time you take a piece of me
I lay here wounded crying can’t you see
Why won’t you just let me be
And stop taking all these little pieces of me

I’m not ready to be pulled a part
So give me back my broken heart
I just can’t take this pain anymore
My hearts been broken by you before

You keep taking little pieces of me
Take everything it’s yours to keep
Each time you take a piece of me
I lay here wounded crying can’t you see
Why won’t you just let me be
And stop taking all these little pieces of me

One day you’re gonna be gone
But my heart will always be yours
One night you’ll be the one lingering on
Even after I walk out the door
Someday I’ll take back those pieces of me
One day I’ll set myself free

You keep taking little pieces of me
Take everything it’s yours to keep
Each time you take a piece of me
I lay here wounded crying can’t you see
Why won’t you just let me be
And stop taking all these little pieces of me
Yeah stop taking all these little pieces of me
Little pieces of me
