Don't take away the music
It's the only thing I've got
It's my piece of the rock

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)
Oh, from a sweet melody
(Baby, would you take away)
The music from a symphony

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

Every time you whispered low
My heart would sing (my heart would sing)
Now it's silent like the phone
The phone that never rings

Memories of love's refrain
Memories keep haunting me
What are we doing to the song we sang
What happened to our sweet harmony

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

Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)

Since you're not here with me
My whole life seems out of key

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 (please)
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song

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

Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)

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 the music (don't take away)
Everything else is gone
Don't strip my world of this song

Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (don't take it away)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (don't take it away)

Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (don't take it away)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (don't take it away)

Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (don't take it away)
Don't take my music (uh, uh, uh)
Don't take my music (don't take it away)
