 Oh  come on, come on,  come on, come on
 Didn't  I make you feel like  you were  my
 only  man.  Yeah  and
 didn't  I give you nearly everything  that a woman possibly  can.
Honey  you know I did.
  But  each night I tell myself that I, that  I think I've had enough
 Well  I'm gonna show you baby that  a woman can be tough, I want you to
 come  on, come  on, come  on, come  on
 Take  it! Take  another little piece of my  heart now baby  Oohhhh
  (Men) (Janis) (Men)
 Break  it! Break  another little bit of my  heart now baby  Oohhhh
 Have  it! Have  another little piece of my  heart now baby
   You know you've got it, if it makes  you  feel  good,  oh yes it
  (Men join in .....)
 did  You're
 out  on the street  looking good  and baby deep  down in your
 heart  I guess you know  that it ain't right.  Now  you never never
 hear  me when I cry  at night.  Babe and I cry all the  time.
  But  each time I tell myself that I, that  I can't stand the pain,
 but  then you hold me in your arms,  and I sing it once again.
 I  sing come  on, come on,  come on,  come on E A B B B A A
 Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now baby Oohhhh
  (Men) (Janis) (Men)
 Break  it! Break  another little bit of my  heart now baby  Oohhhh
