Lyrics of
Live And Let Die

Live and Let Die was written by Paul and Linda McCartney for the James Bond film of the same name. The song signified the beginning of Wings, Pauls band after the Beatles. It was the McCartneys first foray into film work, marking a significant step in their post-Beatles careers. Featuring a blend of rock and orchestral music, the song deals with themes of letting go and accepting change.

When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die


What does it matter to ya
When you got a job to do
You gotta do it well
3/8
You gotta give the other fellow hell


(instrumental)
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did you know you did)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
