Piece Of My Heart
Big Brother Lyrics

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on
Pleading for the person's attention and urging them to take more from the singer.

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man yeah
Asking if the singer has done enough to make the person feel valued and loved.

And didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
Questioning if the singer has given everything they could, acknowledging their efforts for the person's happiness.

Honey, you know I did!
Expressing confidence that the person knows the artist has done what they could.

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough
Acknowledging that the artist has tried to let go or move on from the person's hold on them.

But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough
Promising to demonstrate the strength the singer has despite the pain and heartbreak they've experienced.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Requesting that the person take more from the singer, despite the fear of getting hurt.

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Offering more of the artist's love and devotion, even if it means losing more of themselves in the process.

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah
Admitting that the person can hurt the artist, but still wanting them to take more.

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
Continuing to give themselves to the person, no matter how much it may hurt.

You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Reassuring the person that they can take more if it truly makes them happy.

You're out on the streets looking good
Recognizing that the person may be attractive and desirable to others.

And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right
Speculating that the person is aware of how their actions may negatively affect the singer and the relationship.

Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night
Feeling unacknowledged and unheard when expressing their pain and heartbreak.

Babe, I cry all the time!
Confessing the constant emotional pain and heartbreak they are experiencing.

And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain
Admitting that the artist is struggling to handle the pain and heartbreak associated with loving the person.

But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again
Acknowledging the artist's weakness when it comes to the person, and the way their embrace can provide temporary relief.

I said come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Repeating their request and desire for the person to take more of the singer's love and devotion.

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
Reiterating that the person can take more if it brings them happiness, despite the singer's pain.

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Stressing their desire for the person to take more despite the fear and pain it brings.

Hey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Offering more of the artist's heart and love, despite the fear and pain that may come with it.

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
Repeating the reassurance that the person can take more if it brings them happiness, no matter what the artist may feel.
