Lyrics

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man? Yeah

An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?

Honey, you know I did

And, 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

(Oh, oh, break it)

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Oh, oh, come on)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

Well, 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 hear me when I cry at night

Babe and I cry all the time

But 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 and take it

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby

(Oh, oh, break it)

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah

(Oh, oh, have a)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

Well, you know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby

(Oh, oh, break it)

Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now

(Oh, oh, have a)

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

You know you got it, wow

Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby

Oh, oh, break it

Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, have a

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good
