Piece of My Heart

She was born Janis Lyn Joplin in Port Arthur, Texas, on January 19th 1943. By the 1960's she was the Queen of Rock N Roll. Combining Soul, Blues and Rock N Roll, she became one of the most powerful voices of her generation. Nobody cold belt out a tune like Janis. Her raspy soulful voice was unmistakable. Her rise was meteoric, her fall was catastropic. All the world would come to know this wild eyed girl from Texas. She was on the fast track, she had it all, but she lived her life on a razors edge. Sex, Drugs & Rock N Roll had taken it's hold on her. A steady string of smash hits made her a household name and then all that suddenly, she was gone. Janis Joplin died of a heroin overdose on October 4, 1970, she was 27 years old.

Piece of My Heart

Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn't I make you feel, oh honey, like you were the only man I ever wanted, that I ever needed ?
Oh ho, honey, didn't I give you nearly everything that I ever had to give ?
Oh, you know I did!
But each time I tell myself that i, 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 and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy daddy daddy,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Yes indeed, whoaa...
