Piece of Your Heart
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whoa

I know you're trying to make me happy,
And I know you're doing it you're way, way.
And I don't always make it easy
To know the perfect words to say, say.

If you wanna give me what I want,
Listen, 'cause I'm gonna tell you what I need so bad.
If you wanna give me what I crave,
Hold me so I can feel your love.

[Chorus]
When the craziness begins to get to me,
Just need a hand to hold, just be that somebody.
It's your tenderness that's gonna make it right,
I want a piece of your heart, not a piece of your mind.
When the craziness begins to get to me,
Just need a hand to hold, just be that somebody.
It's your tenderness that's gonna make it right,
Give me a piece of your heart, not a piece of your mind.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Ah, oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa

You're always trying to solve the puzzle,
And you always wanna fix what's broke, broke.
You keep searching through the rubble,
And never wanna let it go, go.

Sometimes it feels like I'm raining on the inside,
And all the things that I'm trying I don't get it right.
Yeah, sometimes, I fall but I get up,
And it takes a while but I get there in my own time.

If you wanna give me what I want,
Listen, 'cause I'm gonna tell you what I need so bad.
If you wanna give me what I crave,
Hold me so I can feel your love.

[Chorus]

Love is a very wide open door,
You can go through every time you want more.
Why do I feel like the glass is half full,
When I've got enough of it to feel, a swimming pool.

Listen, 'cause I'm gonna tell you what I need so bad.
If you wanna give me what I crave,
Hold me so I can feel your love.





[Chorus]
