All she said she wanted was a piece of me

Even if the part she got could never be free

So I gave her love that I knew you could spare

But sweetheart she took more than her share



And the time it took for turning out the lights

And the time it took for me to close my eyes

She took the love we had and stripped it bare

Yes sweetheart she took more than her share



All I meant to give her was a part of my time

The part you leave alone most every night

Now the love I had for you's no longer there

Cause sweetheart she took more than her share

Yes sweetheart she took more than her share
