Piece of My Heart

About Piece of My Heart

"Piece of My Heart" is a romantic funk/soul love song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns, originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. The song came to greater mainstream attention when Big Brother and the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin on lead vocals) covered the song in 1968 and had a much bigger hit with it. The song has since been remade by several singers, including Dusty Springfield on her 1968 album Dusty... Definitely, Bryan Ferry on his solo debut album These Foolish Things in 1973. It was recorded by Sammy Hagar on his first Geffen Records release, Standing Hampton, which hit the airwaves in 1982, and reached platinum status , Faith Hill in 1994 and Melissa Etheridge in 2005. In 2004, the Big Brother and the Holding Company version was ranked number 353 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song is also included among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. more »

Come on, come on, come on, come on

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only one, yeah
I said didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can
Honey you know that I did
Well each time I tell myself that I, I think I've had enough
Oh, I am gonna show you baby, a woman can be tough

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now, darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good, ooh yes it does, yeah

You're out on the street lookin' good
And honey deep down in your heart, child, you know that it ain't right
You never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry out at night
And honey I, I cry all the time
And each time I tell myself that I, I can stand the pain
You take me in your arms, and I'm singing once again

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now darling
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now baby
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come on, come on, come on, come on
And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break it, break another little bit of my heart now darling, yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it, wow

Take it, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Break it, take another little piece of my heart now, darling, yeah
You got to have a, have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
