[Verse 1]
Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Every time I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me, from me
Life's gotta always be messin' with me (You wanna see the light)
Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I)
Can't I take away all this pain? (You wanna see the light)
I try to every night, all in vain, in vain

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

[Chorus]
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

[Verse 2]
Feelin' like a freak on a leash (You wanna see the light)
Feeling like I have no release (So do I)
How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light)
Nothing in my life is free, is free

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

[Chorus]
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

[Bridge]
Boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Da-boom-da-da-mmm-dum-na-ee-ma
Go!

[Hook]
So buy, something on the ming-a-boo
Buy, some things they buy
So, something on the ming-a-boo
Buy, some things they buy
Buy, something off the hee-a-hoo
No, some things they buy
Buy, something on the ming-a-hoo
Buy, some things they buy

[Chorus]
Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap fuck for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

[Outro]
Part of me
Part of me
Part of me

Korn

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
