Piece of My Heart

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

Time and time again

My girlfriends ask me if we're just friends

And when I tell them that it's true

Deep down inside, I just want to be with you

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

It's long after dark

We're up all night talking heart to heart

And when it's time for you to go

I tell myself we're just friends but we both know

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

Take yourself a piece of my heart

In other words, caution, please use caution

'Cause hearts get broken, lies are spoken

Eyes are open while a brotha like me just kept on strokin'

Hoping to find and align with my better half

Friends just laugh but I stay on the middle path

Knowin' that you would come through for me, dear

Release another piece of your heart, start givin' it hear

I close my eyes and dream about you

Holdin' me deep in your soul

I just can't make it without you

I love you more than you'll ever know

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, baby

You take a piece of my heart with you always, always, baby
