I've been waiting all my life for this You're the only one I couldn't resist I'm down to the last piece of my heart So if we're sharing it Take care of it Take care of it I've been waiting all my life for you For the moment they said wouldn't come true. I'm down to the last piece of my heart So if we're sharing it Piece of My Heart Lyrics by Janis Joplin from the Cheap Thrills/I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! album- including song video, artist biography, translations and more: Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on! Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man yeah! And didn't I give yā€¦ 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 {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} And break it, break another little piece of my heart now, baby Take it, take another little piece of my heart now You can have it, have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah You know youā€™ve got it, if it makes you feel good Youā€™re out on the street, looking good And you know deep down in your heart that it ainā€™t right But instead, what the vocalist means by asserting that the addressee is ā€˜the tear in his heartā€™ is something like she being an emotional impetus, sentimental spark plug or however you want to put it.
