Piece Of My Heart
Janis Lyrics

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man, yeah,
I made you feel special and loved, like you were the only man in the world.

An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
I gave you everything I could as a woman in a relationship.

Honey, you know I did!
You know I did my best to make you happy.

And each time I tell myself that I, well I've just had enough,
Every time I reach my limit and feel like I can't take any more of this pain,

But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I'll prove to you that women can be strong and resilient despite what you put me through.

I said come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
I'm inviting you to take another piece of my heart.

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Take another small part of me, even though it hurts.

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
Hurt me and break my heart even more, if that's what you want.

Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
I'm still willing to give you more of me, even though you've hurt me before.

You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
If taking another piece of me makes you happy, then you can have it.

Oh yes indeed.
Without a doubt, I know this is the right thing to do.

You're out on the street looking good, honey,
You might look good on the outside, but inside we both know there's something wrong.

Deep down in your heart I said you know that it ain't right,
You know deep down that what you're doing to me is wrong.

Never never never never never never hear me when I cry at night.
You never listen to me or care about how much you've hurt me.

Honey, I cry all the time!
I cry frequently because of the pain you've caused me.

And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
Each time I try to convince myself that I can't take any more of this emotional pain.

But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.
But even though you've hurt me, I'll still come back to you because I love you.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
I'm inviting you to take another piece of my heart again.

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Go ahead and break my heart even more, I can take it.

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
I'm still willing to give you more of myself, even though it hurts.

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good, hey!
If taking another piece of me makes you happy, then you can have it.

Now all right!
Ok, let's do it.

Break it, break it, break it, yeah.
Go ahead and break my heart even more, I can handle it.

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
If taking another piece of me makes you happy, then you can have it.
