Review The Song (14)Print the Lyrics
(Come on…)
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man, well yeah,
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that 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 a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good, and baby,
Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never never never never never never never hear me when I cry at night.
Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, (come on…)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Guitar

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, darling, yeah. (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it (waaaaahhh)
Take a…Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, and darling, yeah yeah (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Review about Piece of My Heart

Unable to Stop Loving | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/28/09

It very well could mean a challenge.
I've had experiences like those before, but when I hear this song, I am reminded of other feelings.

To me, this song signifies a woman's love. How it is unstopable. This song is how true love should be defined.
You can break my heart, but I won't leave you and I won't stop loving you. Yes, you have been a jerk, but I fell in love with. I see more to you than how you can hurt me. When you hold me in your arms, you are someone different than the juvenile and cruel man that hurt me. I will always forgive you and love you, because my heart is strong. I am tough, and you can take my heart, rip it to pieces, and then eat it, but only you can do that. Because I love you and I have already given you my heart anyways.
This song shows the side of love that most people never want to deal with, or don't even want to aknowledge that it exists. It is inevitable, the people you love will hurt you, but will you let them "take another piece of your heart"?



A Challenege | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/12/09

One time I witnessed an argument between my friend and her parent's. Her mother attempted to hit her, but my friend grabbed her mother's arm before her mother could hit her. At that point, she stared her mother in the eyes and said, "Hit me! Go head, hit me!" I think that is what this song is about -- a woman who is in a relationship with someone who keeps breaking her heart even though she does her best the keep the person happy. Finally, fed up, she stands up for herself and challenges the man to hurt her, but at the same time asserting that she is stronger, and she isn't going to just sit back and let it happen.



taking it back | Reviewer: casey | 2/18/09

i think shes sayin that she wants you to realize what the guy is doing as he tears her heart open and then trying to get her back then doing it again kinda sounds like my friend and I. he broke my heart because he got me pregnant and now hes with God knows how many other girls. ): i pray he comes back to me.



'Cuz a woman can be tough | Reviewer: Gaard | 11/8/08

This is definitely the kind of song that gave an image of what Janis was and what every woman should be. To endure pain and life and carry on with or without a man. Definitely Janis's voice and passion for music made her great and she had to put up with a lot of things through life and this is the kind of song that reflects that and that marks people's lives at a certain time.

She is to me, one of the toughest and greatest woman there have ever been.



INCORRECT | Reviewer: Ward | 9/7/08

"The song is her sarcasm and her way of lashing out at the guy who's been hurting her and knowing Janis, this is most likely a true story."

You are incorrect.
The song was not written by Janis Joplin, it was actually written by two guys, Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns.



Sad Story | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/3/08

Song is all about her dysfunction as a woman and she keeps on going back to a guy who really cares less about her. He keeps on hurting her and breaking her heart but yet each time when she thinks she's had enough he comes back and the cycle starts all over again.

The song is her sarcasm and her way of lashing out at the guy who's been hurting her and knowing Janis, this is most likely a true story.

Janis was an amazing woman - an amazing talent. She is sorely missed.




piece of my heart | Reviewer: oussama | 8/6/08

I think that this single refer to woman and how are they so tender too sweet but man can't see clear cause of selfishness. she tries to show that men are too proud to admit that they are wrong, they know that it is so "Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right". on the other hand women reman the same that wonderful creature ready to support and endure pain for her lover. this what means that woman are tough.'cause man can't and will never be able to endure such pain. THNX Ladies for being there for us.



Janis Joplin- Influential to the World | Reviewer: Alexandra W. | 3/13/08

Piece of My heart is about the individualism of Janis Joplins hard blues voice at which at her time was ignored because of famous artists such as 'The Beatles' and such were overtaking the music industry. Being a lead singer of a rock and roll band suprised people influencing ladies and girls all around the world to be indivual and stand up for their rights as women in the early 70's after she died an overdose to drugs much like other amazing artists in the music industry. Janis Joplin was an anti-sex symbol and showed that through her music that she was tough! She says that "a women can be tough" and saying "try me" to show that no matter how many times her heart is broken (or you "take a piece of her heart") she can continue life and pick her feet up and move on without a man.



That is the true Janis Joplin.



kinda painful | Reviewer: Anonymous JC | 11/5/07

For me this song is very special 'cause it reminds me of some experiences I've had, i refer it to those painful moments we use to get when we love, the lyrics and that unique way of Janis to perform, really gives it that kind of feeling...superb, really helping for me.



Janis on stage | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/5/07

Having seen her live in Toronto I gotta tell you there was and is no one to compare.. at once sexy and dangerouse, and at the same time eliciting feelings of wanting to take care of her. Summertime, Ball and Chain, Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby. Never better. Best concert I ever attended.
