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
