Part of Your Life Lyrics

You're taking this hard - and I still don't know
If we've got a price - I'll let you go
I don't wanna be just a part of your life
I can't complain if I'm not sure
I'll only remain if you're still pure
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
You know I won't share you with another man
So don't expect me to try and understand
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

[Chorus]
There's another choice
There's another dream
There's another place
Another reason for living
There's another face
There's another mind
There's another soul
Another heart I could find
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

I don't wanna know what might be wrong
Start looking for something that might be gone
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
Making up for lost time won't ease the pain
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

[Chorus]

I don't want a friend just to turn to
I don't need a hand that can only pull me through
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

You're taking this hard - and I still don't know 
If we've got a price - I'll let you go 
I don't wanna be just a part of your life 
I can't complain if I'm not sure 
I'll only remain if you're still pure 
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life 
You know I won't share you with another man 
So don't expect me to try and understand 
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

[Chorus]
There's another choice 
There's another dream 
There's another place 
Another reason for living 
There's another face 
There's another mind 
There's another soul 
Another heart I could find 
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

I don't wanna know what might be wrong 
Start looking for something that might be gone 
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life 
Making up for lost time won't ease the pain 
Or start looking for something - just to ease the strain 
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

[Chorus]

I don't want a friend just to turn to 
I don't need a hand that can only pull me through 
I'm not gonna be just a part of your life 
I don't wanna be just a part of your life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
