Shaggy Feat. Marsha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl, let's deal with the make up
Alimony mean all the money
Ha, ha, ha, ha
Didn't I make you feel {Didn't I make you feel}
Like you were the only man {You were the only man} (The only man in you life)
Didn't I give you everything
But for all the love I gave ya
It's never enough (Not enough)
But I'm gonna show you, baby
That a woman can be tough (So)
So come on, come on, come on, come on, and
So what, you have me under pressure
Despite the fact say in life you give me pleasure
I'm the only man and I possess the keys to you treasure
So give the contender on the trail
Captivate your mind, I'll make your heart grow fonder {Ooh..}
Still you're trying to find out whose covers that I'm under
So you start to wonder, heart beat like thunder {Yeah...}
So I blow my cover
'Cause I'm the great pretender, girl, surrender, yeah
{Take it} Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
{Oh, oh, break it} Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
(Hey, darling, give it up, give it up, give it up)
{Oh, oh, have it} Have another little bit of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
You play detective boo, want a new suit
Going through my pockets, searchin' for clues
Trying to follow me, you and your desperate crew
The end of this relationship was long over due
Now what you did was cute, girl, you spent the loot
Easy on the tears, oops, man, you soil my suit
Do yourself a favor and find a new recruit
And don't take it personal because you got the boot
You're out on the streets {Looking good} (Absolutely)
And you know deep down in you heart that that ain't right (Come on, come on)
And, oh, you never, never hear me when I cry at night {Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...}
I tell myself, that I can stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms (Yeah) I sing it again {Say it again}
So come on, come on, come on, come on (So what?) and
{Take it} Take another little piece of my heart now, baby {Why don't you}
{Oh, oh, break it} Break another little bit of my heart now, honey (I don't think you know)
{Oh, oh, have it} Have another little bit of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
I can make you {Ooh}, you can make me {Ah}
Anyway you want it, baby, we can do it right
Jump out a the frying pan and straight down in a the fire
I'm Mr. Gigolo, your most notorious liar
Ex-amount of loving you get what me did require {Ooh...}
Your personal attendant, well, my love is not for hire
Girl, search yourself, 'cause I'm you heart's desire
25 girls in a my life, don't want a wife, I need a lover, yeah
{Take it} Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
{Oh, oh, break it} Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
(I got your heart, I got your heart, girl)
{Oh, oh, have it} (Shoop) Have another little bit of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
{Ooh, ah}
Rock, baby
The song Piece of My Heart by Shaggy Feat. Marsha deals with the aftermath of a breakup and the desire to make up. The first verse highlights the fact that the woman was given everything possible but it was never enough. The female singer then wants to prove that women can be tough and can handle themselves. The male singer then tells the woman to take another piece of his heart and suggests that he has been with multiple women but just wants a lover and not a wife.
The lyrics show the struggle of both parties in a relationship. The female singer is struggling to come to terms with the breakup and is willing to fight for the relationship. However, the male singer seems to be uninterested and wants to move on with his life. The lyrics also suggest that the male singer may have cheated on the female singer, which led to the breakup. The song's message is that relationships can be hard but both parties need to be willing to work on them.

So give the contender on the trail
Be faithful to me and ignore any other potential suitors
Captivate your mind, I'll make your heart grow fonder {Ooh..}
Think of me and I will make you love me even more
Still you're trying to find out whose covers that I'm under
You are still suspicious of who I am involved with
So you start to wonder, heart beat like thunder {Yeah...}
You start to worry and your heartbeat increases
So I blow my cover
So I reveal the truth
'Cause I'm the great pretender, girl, surrender, yeah
Because I am pretending and you should surrender to my love
{Take it} Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Take another piece of my heart and love me
{Oh, oh, break it} Break another little bit of my heart now, honey
Break my heart a little bit more
(Hey, darling, give it up, give it up, give it up)
(Hey, darling, surrender to me)
{Oh, oh, have it} Have another little bit of my heart now, baby
Take another piece of my heart and love me
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
You know you have my love if it makes you happy
You play detective boo, want a new suit
You act like a detective and want to find out everything about me
Going through my pockets, searchin' for clues
Searching for evidence or hints about someone else I may be involved with
Trying to follow me, you and your desperate crew
You and your friends are trying hard to keep up with me
The end of this relationship was long over due
Our relationship has been over for a long time
Now what you did was cute, girl, you spent the loot
You spent a lot of money, which was sweet of you
Easy on the tears, oops, man, you soil my suit
Don't cry too much, you might ruin my suit
Do yourself a favor and find a new recruit
Move on and find someone else to love
And don't take it personal because you got the boot
Don't take it personally that I broke up with you
You're out on the streets {Looking good} (Absolutely)
You are single and ready to mingle, looking good as always
And you know deep down in you heart that that ain't right (Come on, come on)
And you know that in your heart, this isn't how it should be
And, oh, you never, never hear me when I cry at night {Oh...oh...oh...oh...oh...}
And you never hear me cry myself to sleep at night
I tell myself, that I can stand the pain
I tell myself that I can handle the heartbreak
But when you hold me in your arms (Yeah) I sing it again {Say it again}
But when you hold me, I realize how much I still love you and I want to sing this song again
So come on, come on, come on, come on (So what?) and
Let's try to make things work between us
I can make you {Ooh}, you can make me {Ah}
We can give each other pleasure
Anyway you want it, baby, we can do it right
We can do things any way you want and make our relationship right
Jump out a the frying pan and straight down in a the fire
Escape one problem only to fall into a worse one
I'm Mr. Gigolo, your most notorious liar
I'm a womanizer and a pathological liar
Ex-amount of loving you get what me did require {Ooh...}
I gave you a lot of love, but still had more requirements that you didn't meet
Your personal attendant, well, my love is not for hire
I am not to be used for your personal gain
Girl, search yourself, 'cause I'm you heart's desire
Look within yourself, because I'm the love you really want
25 girls in a my life, don't want a wife, I need a lover, yeah
I've had many girls, and I don't want a wife, I just want a lover
(I got your heart, I got your heart, girl)
(I have your heart, girl)
{Oh, oh, have it} (Shoop) Have another little bit of my heart now, baby
Take another little piece of my heart and love me
{Ooh, ah}
Expressions of passion and desire
Rock, baby
Let's dance and have a good time
