Melissa Etheridge - Piece Of My Heart Lyrics






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 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 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
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
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 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
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 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 - whoahhhhh!!

Take it!
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

Melissa Etheridge Piece Of My Heart Comments
  1. R.... R....

    Melissa it's a queen, Joss just a clown,
    Love You Melissa, absolutely natural talent, she rocks without acting

  2. A.... S....

    Melissa es sensacional 😍😍..
    Joss stone cállate 👎👎👎

  3. Y.... Z....

    Is joss stone

  4. O.... A....

    Whist Etheridge is not bad, when I hear her do a Janis Joplin number, I think of a five year old wearing mother's high heels and thinking she's a lady.

  5. M.... R....

    Pretty good, but they just demonstrate how singular Janis Joplin was in her vocal prowess--so much power and tone, not to mention raw emotion. Everyone else just seems tepid by comparison, even when doing an otherwise brilliant job.

  6. D.... R....

    So good!

  7. C.... W....

    ❤️ her

  8. T.... C....

    Melissa , Yaaasssss!

  9. A.... D....

    Holy crap, malisa, you are rude, and sweet... I'll cry for you baby

  10. j.... g....

    BOTH, FANTASTIC

  11. J.... N....

    Garbage......

  12. M.... K....

    Shes so great her wig flew

  13. S.... J....

    I want to marry Melissa Etheridge.

  14. J.... O....

    Unbelievable version of this song honoring Janis. Made me cry. Wish she was still here. Would love to back up Melissa on the drums. She is fantastic.

  15. M.... B....

    ICONIC.....

  16. i.... ....

    So this is the performance that inspired I Am Not My Hair?

  17. J.... O....

    What a performance of this song. Wow

  18. S.... B....

    Janis, why the fuck were we robbed of you?

  19. P.... Y....

    4:28... she DELIVERED

  20. L.... G....

    That's the kind of risk you take when you put on stage two singers with that mismatch

  21. m.... m....

    I replayed this hundred times on my recorder, now on this channel.
    thanks!!

  22. A.... 1....

    Still winded from chemo, damn what an amazing woman !!

  23. J.... R....

    LOVE Joss Stone ☺
    LOVE the man singing in the background 😍
    LOVE Melissa Etheridge 😍 🌟

  24. n.... r....

    This is Melissa Etheridge??? Piece of my heart??? What am I missing here? I mean seriously.

    n.... r....

    You're missing your brain cells. Obviously. I mean, seriously.

  25. C.... ....

    If anyone says a word about female rockers/performers, anything implying they’re somehow not up to par, I go right here. Melissa, mid-chemo, burning the fucking house down in a perfect tribute to Janis.

    Also: THAT SCREAM!

  26. H.... M....

    Melissa tore that shit up

  27. C.... H....

    Kickn' ASS

  28. l.... ....

    I remember seeing this that night, and getting chills when Melissa came out singing. So much heart and grit and passion! I didn't know who Joss Stone was, and thought she was...ok, but Melissa absolutely owned this performance.

  29. Z.... W....

    I love that performance they tore the damn house down!!💓💓💓💓💓😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
    Thanks, youtube I thought I would never see that again!😊👌👍

  30. A.... A....

    o que é isso MELISSAAAAAA MARAVILHOSA...Janis agradece

  31. E.... C....

    Joss is great, but Melissa is wonderful :D

  32. K.... O....

    AMAZING !!

  33. m.... ....

    I remember watching this and I got chills. Melissa killed it

  34. B.... W....

    If 4:27 doesn't make the hairs on your arm stand up, you have no soul.

    B.... W....

    Yeah, and Melissa had Janis smiling in her grave when all of a sudden Joss starts cackling like a demented rooster in heat and doing a spastic number. I don't care what anybody says, Joss tried to ruin her moment but it didn't work and she just made a fool of herself. Melissa's eyes are hauntingly beautiful. She's gorgeous from the top of her bald lovely head to the tip of her 10 gorgeous toes.... Imagine what's in between! I'm in love.

  35. a.... ....

    i wish it was only Melissa singing. she killed it!!!!

  36. A.... F....

    I JUST LOVE THIS SONG !!!

  37. D.... A....

    Joss is so beautiful, her voice indeed!

  38. d.... ....

  39. h.... c....

    Joss Stone ,,,"you were just `Blown off stage!"

  40. z.... w....

    Cry Baby + Piece of my heart

  41. G.... R....

    wow just wow melissa has that raw talent...what a voice.... i love joss too Janis was a true icon... you sure don't hear songs like this at Grammys anymore it's all fake nothing like this.... sad the music today has no meaning... no soul just tasteless.boring junk and trash if you ask me....... rock on melissa you and Joss are great together... but yeah her voice is alot stronger like Janis.... loved this...

  42. C.... O....

    Janis was sitting on a cloud and Jamming with them!! For those that have hate and are bitching about this video, sit down stfu and DEAL WITH IT!

  43. J.... E....

    This is still one of the greatest Grammy Award moments of all-time! You could clearly tell that Janis's siblings were clearly touched by Melissa's performance.

  44. C.... Z....

    That bitch stole Lou Diamond Phillip's wife and put David Crosby's baby in her. Lol

  45. N.... D....

    Melissa is so F*cking Awesome 😚 !

  46. J.... B....

    Didn’t know she was bald

    J.... B....

    results of cancer chemo and radiation

  47. D.... C....

    ❤ Mel 👌

  48. N.... L....

    Wow Melissa just blew this track away!

  49. s.... j....

    Joss Stone is straight up sexy AF !

  50. L.... D....

    Oufti ! Greaaaattttttttt ! Thanks

  51. K.... ....

    4:28 !!!!!!!!!!!

  52. V.... T....

    Crying is what I do when I have to listen to Joss Stone. In pain

  53. I.... R....

    Joss Stone :)

  54. M.... L....

    Melissa is one hell of a singer. I know Janice would be proud. She nailed it.

  55. L.... L....

    "If you can't sing well, just yell louder."

  56. T.... W....

    That scream though...

  57. M.... R....

    Janis is a huge gifted signature

  58. M.... R....

    no one ever yelled the way Janis then plant then rose back in the days did ..even Tyler sounds overacting...love them all love music

  59. M.... B....

    AMAZING! I have chills watching this. She nailed it!

  60. n.... ....

    Really?, Listen to the original version before Janis, if you haven't yet. Erma Frankling 1967. Janis scream the song and Erma sings it. Both versions are great, but you what happens with many songs.

  61. W.... ....

    It's crazy how much she sounds like Janis

    W.... ....

    Yeah, Melissa was practically channeling Janis on this one. Great performance.

  62. m.... ....

    Simply Beautiful!

  63. J.... K....

    Melissa is in a class of her own!

  64. C.... O....

    Joss is okay, but if any one is going to do Janis it has to be Melissa!

  65. O.... a....

    Shut up joss! leave melissa sing alone pls!

    O.... a....

    I was looking for this very comment cause I thought "wow, this joss girl sucks. I can't be the only one who noticed." And here you are!

    O.... a....

    Totally agree, Melissa rules

    O.... a....

    She may rule. But joss did great

    O.... a....

    @Clinton Burtchett exactly Joss still did great even tho melissa was bomb both was great just different

  66. m.... ....

    Melissa yes the other chick HELL NO!!

  67. A.... ....

    Man, I love Joss Stone, but Melissa's roughness is so much more fitting

    A.... ....

    Joss has the style, but melissa has the voice

  68. c.... ....

    Janis would be proud of Melissa!

    c.... ....

    muibien intrer pretada a janis joplin

  70. g.... d....

    I didn't know her! Beautiful voice- Thanks to the web, I'm finding out many artists I had never listened to- I recognize some songs but didn't know the singers- She's got a powerful voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    g.... d....

    She is our generation's (Generation X) janis joplin. We love her.

  71. J.... K....

    What the grammy's live for. How often do you get a performance like this?

  72. H.... B....

    Algum defeito ela deve ter!!!

  73. L.... S....

    dam mellissa got it love her

  74. L.... L....

    Love this so much! Both such beautiful talented women xXx

  75. m.... i....

    Purrrr... way to go Etheridge

  76. T.... B....

    To be clear....this is originally an Erma Franklin song....all the subsequent version (these and Janis etc.) are really great...but it is Erma's first.

    T.... B....

    @GypsySummer Raine AND u SHOULD KNOW IS NOT ORIGINALLY FROM JANNIS,.. PERIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPD.😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘☺☺😉👍

    T.... B....

    I KNOW RIGHT!!!

    T.... B....

    @GypsySummer Raine it's on YouTube, yes.

    T.... B....

    @Marisa Castañeda erma

  77. C.... ....

    the first woman is stone? oO

  78. R.... ....

    Melissa is singing this while going through breast cancer treatment. SHE ROCKS THIS SONG!!! And she looks amazing while bald. Takes a lot of strength and courage to perform this while ill.  I have been there, as I am a survivor too of breast cancer. SING IT, MELISSA!!!

  79. c.... c....

    WOW!!! That song was amazing when Janis did it and it was amazing when Melissa did it!

  80. E.... g....

    I think that comparison does not match, it's not fair because although melissa admires Janis Joplin, melissa is melissa has its own style are different, no esmejor or worse are just different not think Melissa Etheridge wants nor seeks to be the new Janis Joplin's comparisons the others do, but she only pays tribute to her idol.

  81. f.... f....

    Best living communication (of me)(for all).

  82. l.... ....

    some guys really don't look good with a shaved head

    l.... ....

    If you know what happend with her I supposed you took you words back...   And she was never someone who cared about appearance. So you miss the point complete.

    l.... ....

    You might want to read the second paragraph in this chapter carefully:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Etheridge#2004.E2.80.932008:_Lucky.2C_cancer_diagnosis.2C_Academy_Awards_and_The_Awakening

    And just in case you don't know what a Chemotherapy is, read this as well:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotherapy#Hair_loss

  83. R.... O....

    was there with Joplin... the styles are different: the soul and screams poured out of Janis so naturally...Melissa does a fine job here, lots of effort and a very decent rendition...just the styles are different so comparison seems unfair

  84. H.... H....

    this is not melissa

    H.... H....

    move it forward to around 2:18 Melissa then comes in.

  85. k.... t....

    very good! Super rock 'n' roll!

  86. l.... m....

    this was great

  87. B.... B....

    Anyone saying you have to live the life of pain and drugs to sing it like Joplin may have a point but wouldn't you think performing this song in the midst of cancer and chemo qualify as Melissa did? Not taking anything from Joplin but her tortured soul had a great deal to do with drugs of HER choice and not out of a need to cure herself though I know at that point in time it WAS a cure for her pain so to speak. And let's not forget the original performer, Erma Franklin, who's soulful voice made this song so desirable to cover.

    B.... B....

    I think that's what made Janis singing it so beautiful unlike the other covers I've heard, she sings it and you can feel the pain when she sings it. Most covers just don't put the emotion into it Janis did when she sung it.

    B.... B....

    No matter if it is your choice to do drugs or not, no one deserves to suffer from the brain disease that is addiction. I would know

  88. e.... c....

    uaauu melissa sua gostosa... 

  89. w.... ....

    Awesome Ladies!!!

  90. G.... J....

    Esto es "Cry baby" no "piece of my heart"!

    G.... J....

    @Gato Jazz despues sigue piece of my heart

  91. c.... b....

    Yeeeeer yeeer too much, problem of 'today' artists.....

  92. d.... g....

    what is this  bitch thinking? no one can recreate this song, it takes a lot of drugs and pain in the heart to pull this song off. if this bitch doesnt want to go the full distance this bitch needs to quit fucking with legendary music .

    d.... g....

    I feel sorry for troubled people like you

  93. B.... F....

    Bravo !

  94. T.... O....

    Damn Etheridge is a force of nature. She did Joss like Aretha did Celine on stage. Devastated and outclassed.

    T.... O....

    what is your fascination with farts and shit?  I mean really

  95. J.... R....

    This is more than fantastic and fabulous.  I looooooooooooooooooooooove it!!!
