The Piece of My Heart
Intermission Lyrics

Take this piece of my heart
I am giving you a part of myself

And you'll find my love
By accepting my heart, you will find my love

But be careful with what you've got
Please treat my heart with respect and care

And I'll love you endlessly
My love for you will never end

Ice cold is how you came
You came into my life with a cold attitude

I was straight up weak when you called my name
I was vulnerable and powerless when you called out to me

Slowly I can feel the pain
Over time, I am starting to feel hurt by your actions

Deep, deep down, hard I fall
I have fallen deeply in love with you

Hit me at every side of the wall
Trying to be with you feels like an insurmountable obstacle

Teardrops are in my eye
I am crying because of you

You laugh and I start to cry
Your laughter triggers my tears and sadness

Tryin' to hold me, lies you told me
You are trying to hold onto me while lying to me

Usin', confusin', now you stall me
Your actions and words are confusing and stalling me

Stop and slow it down, girl
Please stop and slow down your actions

Or I won't be around
If you keep behaving this way, I may not stick around

Let's just keep these things together
Let's work on keeping our relationship strong

Hopin' it lasts forever and ever
I hope our love and relationship last for eternity

Take it here right from the start
Let's start our relationship with honesty and sincerity

Take a little piece of my heart
Accept a small part of my love and affection

Destroy and kill and tear it apart
Please don't destroy or tear apart my heart

Love is all I got to give
All I have to offer is my love

Fear's the kind of life I live
My life is filled with fear and anxiety

Thinkin' about you, cryin' about you
You are always on my mind and make me cry

Girl, you got me thinkin' about you
You occupy my thoughts and emotions

Memories right here in my brain
I have memories of you stored in my mind

And I can never forget the pain
The hurt caused by you will always be remembered

That I had, feelin' bad
I experienced negative emotions because of you

Losin' the girl of my life, sad
Losing you would make me extremely sad

Oh, no, that's not the way
That is not how I want things to end

G.E.M. Alley Cat don't play
I am serious about my love and not playing games

I'm keepin' you and not mistreatin' you
I want to keep you close and treat you well

But teachin' you the things to do
I want to guide and teach you how to be a better partner

And, if ever we should fall apart,
If our relationship ever fails,

Yo, take this piece of my heart
I hope you remember the love I gave you
