Piece of My Heart Lyrics
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man yeah!
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.
You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, and I cry all the time!
But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it whoahhhhh!!
Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,

Duh, this song is totally about a guy whole manipulates the woman in love with him. But she cant find it in herself to stay mad at him. Hes probably one of those guys who isnt perfect until you fall inlove with him and then he becomes impossible to resist. I can definatly relate to this. I feel ya Janis!
I love her voice. It's that nice, pure, slightly raspy and edgy voice. Janis Joplin and Joan Jett's voices remind me of each other (Hey, JJ and JJ! (despite Joan Jett's surname being Larkin)).
I love this song. Her voice truly makes it great.
i love this song, it is so great to turn real loud and sing along to. i think all us girls out there have fallen for one of these type of guys and its just so hard to say no!
From an insensitive male's point of view, yeah, I think the guitar sound is great.
Guilty. I often thought, later, did I really say / do that? Growing up with this song was part of my interpersonal learning process - Shame I listened, but did not observe.
thanks janis for speaking up for all us massochistic girls who are in love with boys who rip our hearts out.. it's almost an addicting and screaming this song makes the pain a bit more fun.. in fact.. thank you for living.. you were incredible
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.. wow
Great tune. She has got to have the greatest female "scream" in rock and roll - matching real close to Joe Cocker's ability. Alas, the past is here. Where are all the great artists now when we need them so badly? (Dont say dead, this is a rhetorical question.)
O R G A M I C awww janis i love you
hey shit janis has a good scream but have you heard frank black?
Wow...I think that's all I need to say. I love this song and I think Janis is talking for all of us girls
This is one of my favorites from Janis, it's really great. I love it when my cousin is on the flipp and sings it for me in her best but still...No one tops Janis =D my inspiration
