Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
[Verse 2]
I knew you were always there
You were my song (You were my song)
How am I supposed to bear it
Now that you've gone?
(Would you separate the words) Ooh
From a sweet melody?
(Baby, won't you take away)
The music from the symphony?
[Verse 3]
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
Please, it's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
No, everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song
[Verse 4]
Every time you whispered low
My heart would sing (My heart would sing)
Now it's silent like a phone
A phone that never rings
(Memories of love's refrain)
Memories keep haunting me
(What are we doin' to the song we sang?)
What happened to our sweet harmony?
[Verse 5]
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
Please, it's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
(Don't go, don't go-go)
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song
[Verse 6]
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music (No, no, no)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music (Don't take away your lovin')
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music (Leavin' me hear with nothin')
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 8]
Since you're not here with me
My whole life seems out of key
[Verse 9]
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
Please, it's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't, don't, don't, don't do you
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
Please, everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song
[Verse 10]
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
(No) It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
[Verse 11]
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 12]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 13]
Don't take away
The music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock
Don't take away (Don't take away)
The music
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song
(Don't go, don't go-go)
[Verse 14]
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh (You turned my heart sweet)
Don't take away the music
(I have been fooled) Don't take it away
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh (But now my heart is empty, baby)
Don't take my music
(Since you've been gone) Don't take it away
[Verse 15]
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Don't take it away
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Don't take it away
[Verse 16]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 17]
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Don't take it away
Don't take my music
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Don't take my music
Don't take it away
Don't take my music
