Deep Purple - Might Just Take Your Life Lyrics






I got more than I asked for,
there ain't nothin' I need.
I took all till I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead.

Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
try'n to make a livin' somehow
but I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
and I'm gettin' ready right now.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life.

I've been called by many names
and all of them are bad.
I can take it all the same,
it's all I've ever had.

I've got somethin' that you can't get
but one thing you can see:
gettin' there ain't easy
but it sure was hard for me.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life.

Every time I take a look
there's someone close behind.
They never used to make a pass,
the things that crossed their minds.

Now they tell me that it's all right
and they want to be my friend.
They're ridin' on my back.
When is it goin' to end?

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
might just take your life,
might just take your life.

Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
got more than I need.

Deep Purple Might Just Take Your Life Comments
  1. R.... d....

    I wish I was born in 70s , music today is just shit and no innovation. I am sad.

  2. C.... 9....

    PERFEKT !!!!!!!!! C.

  3. m.... ....

    One of the heaviest rock intros and its a hammond...! God bless Jon Lord

  4. G.... H....

    One of my favorite Deep Purple songs. I listen to this song to get pumped. I use to work a full time mechanic job at our local glass factory. “it closed 3 years ago. I ran a Drain Cleaning business and was Worshipful Master of my local Masons lodge. I used to listen to this song to keep me pumped and going.

  5. A.... V....

    M I T I C I 🎶🎸🎶

  6. S.... Q....

    Ian Paice is such a beast. He plays a million miles an hour on the title track, and then really mixes it up on the next track with some really interesting playing....

  7. D.... C....

    Coverdales young voice was really bluesy (would only be about 24). Burn was a classic album.

  8. j.... a....

    Всегда слушайте

  9. S.... C....

    Maestri

  10. F.... W....

    Deep Purple is like this...you can't change anything because as a Rock band are perfect! good songs, incredible instrumentalists as well as voice harmony
    WHAT A BAND Holy "sh"

  11. T.... F....

    I used to love David Coverdale since I was 16 years old, That was in 1981, I loved that album Come and get it ( cracking stuff!!!) my parents nearly killed me over spending so much time in my room. I think I must have drove them nuts!!!

    T.... F....

    Try my rock channel bro..good stuff.

  12. S.... G....

    Very good!!!

  13. I.... T....

    Timeless...

  14. P.... G....

    Dlamnie mistrzowie roccka

  15. G.... ....

    Stop and smell the candles...

  16. M.... ....

    MITICI!!

  17. c.... ....

    This song reminds me of summer in the 80s listening to my dad's old mix tapes. I had a good introduction to music as a kid

    c.... ....

    Come to visit my web channel of rock style..

  18. P.... A....

    Wow, this hits yer right where you live. Who'd've thought they'd do BETTER without Gillan 'n Glover?!
    The ability to knock out gems like this one is what elevates DP above AOR bands like Zep, Sabbath, Floyd, etc. Purple get in that soulful rock funk groove which I can RELATE to. They're more like Family or Free, with that joyful content condensed into 3 or4 life-affirming minutes. Of course, singles weren't hip if you were heavy in the 70's, and they sneered at Purps for making them - but Purple were the BEST, which it's now plain for all to see!

    P.... A....

    Paul A they are not better hier! Sound like Zep

  19. K.... C....

    Кого ты хотел удивить

  20. C.... A....

    David Coverdale and Glen
    Hughes!

    C.... A....

    When they played with power to give Deep Purple the proper level it deserved...then came Stormbringer 9 months after Burn and fucked everything up, yeah the same two newcomers :/
    The whole Burn album is quite amazing

  21. M.... ....

    Aren't those candles beautiful?
    Great cover 💜

    M.... ....

    Since my childhood the album's cover got me
    Then the fantastic music
    The candles were especially made in a London shop

  22. M.... T....

    ⚰️💀
    #takethekarmatoocuntitwillbetherewhenimnot 💋

  23. b.... ....

    GREAT SONG. it reminds me of Grand Funk Railroad.

  24. b.... ....

    A very balanced song.

  25. T.... T....

    この曲、ほんとよくできてる。

  26. G.... L....

    "I'm always takin' the lead."

  27. J.... k....

    Definetely one of the best Mk III/Mk IV Songs, although I always wonder what Gillan would have made out of the instrumental part

    J.... k....

    JKOANRALS kJAORAl he would make better

  28. M.... b....

    The off beats by the Great Ian Paice in this song is off the charts man.

    M.... b....

    I think Carmine Appice called it playing "behind the beat".

  29. P.... O....

    G.H. the best vocal...

    P.... O....

    Paulo Oliva 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  30. F.... C....

    it´s just taken my life…..perhaps the best blues DP perfomance

  31. G.... ....

    This classic was apparently inspired by The Band's Chest Fever, and a later song by Spooky Tooth, Two Time Love, has elements of the same style. I love musical cross-pollination. One of Jon Lord's best solos here. Inspired.

    G.... ....

    using plants as an analogy -- 😁👍

  32. Y.... U....

    Simply amazing!

  33. J.... S....

    I'm glad to listen to these Deep Purple album cuts! This is 70s, organ soaked, groovy hard rock at it's finest

  34. k.... ....

    Underrated track, a masterpiece

  35. j.... ....

    That intro... one of Jon Lord's signature moments

    j.... ....

    You can almost see the sweat dripping off the Hammond.

    j.... ....

    @grobbler1 -- And the smoke comin' out de side...

  36. �.... �....

    the rhythm section rules!

  37. T.... T....

  85. �.... ....

    The drummer prelude is perfect.
    Paice is the best!

    �.... ....

    Agree. Thin Lizzy's Brian Downey rates Ian Paice highly. That's a compliment!

    �.... ....

    On my top 10
    1.Phil Rudd
    2.Ian Paice
    3. John Bonham

    K.... J....

    @sex6cult9revolution Thank you for letting me know.  Such an awesome song!  ;)

    K.... J....

    Perhaps Mr. Blackmore?!

    K.... J....

    No, that's Ritchie Blackmore.

    K.... J....

    Of Course is King Blackmore...

    K.... J....

    sex6cult9revolution здесь нет ещё никакого Болина , немножко позже...

  91. A.... D....

    Great improvement compared to "Who do we think we are" 1973, this is a great album!!!!

    A.... D....

    Antonio Dias 'who do we think we are!' was made after this album.

    A.... D....

    its not better and not made after

    A.... D....

    @Brianna 187 who do we think...was the last DP album with the Gillan Glover lineup early 1973. They went through illness after touring extensively and had disagreements with Blackmore. Within 6 months that same year, Coverdale and Hughes were recruited. They were just 22 but DP felt they were alright for the band. Too bad it only lasted one year as the lineup proved sloppy with the release of Stormbringer
    Burn is a fantastic album, but the following one made Blackmore say fuck it and left the band to start anew with 🌈 rainbow

  92. m.... b....

    O'boy, such a great tune! Can it get any better..?  Nope.

  93. �.... ....

    достойна музыка...!

  94. S.... P....

    Used to listen to this on 8-tracks cruising in my 440 GTX. Great memories and a great song! One of the best DP songs!

  95. j.... ....

    i love this album...especially this song, burn, and lay down, stay down. once saw a cover band in bangkok, thailand, at the old metal zone on wireless road, do every song from this album and you would swear it was deep purple. band was called tornado...a thai metal band. thanks for putting up the songs from this album. and they sound great on my computer!

    j.... ....

    That cover band for sure sounds way better than today`s Deep Purple (Gillan cover band).

    j.... ....

    Deep purple is english band
