Piece Of My Heart
Lambretta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just cannot go on like this
I don't want it to last forever
Got a feeling from your sweet kiss
I don want us to stay together

And you think
I need you
But you got it wrong babe
And I know
You want me
To stay here forever
(But youe so wrong)

You took a piece of my heart
You took a piece of me, to keep me safe
You took a piece of my heart
Now I want it back
So give it back to me

Now you just have to let me go
Give me back what belongs to me now
Cause I just have to let you know
It all over for us now baby

But I know
You want me
To stay here forever
And you think I need you
But you got it wrong babe
(Oh, so wrong)





You took a piece of my heart
