Didn't I give you everything that a woman possibly can? Oh, but the longer love I give you it's never enough And I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough So come on, come on, come on, come on And take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby You know you've got it if it makes you feel good (If it makes you feel good) You're out on the street looking good Oh, you know, you deep down in your heart that it ain't right You never ever hear me, you never hear me when I, when I cry at night Oh, but each time I tell myself I just can't stand the pain (I can't stand) But when you hold me in your arms I've seen [Incomprehensible] Again and again, and again Come on, come on, come on, come on Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby Break it, break another little bit of my heart now, honey Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby You know you've got it if it makes you feel good You know you've got it if it makes you feel good Take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby Break it, break another little piece of my heart now, honey Honey, have another little piece of my heart now, baby You know you've got it if it makes you feel good The above is from http://instalyrics.com/artists/7416-etta-james/lyrics/2638072-beware |

07 Sep 12 - 10:25 AM (#3401322) Subject: Lyr Add: BEWARE (from Etta James) From: Jim Dixon I think the lyrics posted above must be from the wrong song. Here's what I hear, via Spotify: BEWARE (Words and music by Eric Randle) She's up early in the mornin', dialin' your phone, talkin' 'bout what your man did last night. 'Course she wouldn't be worried 'bout what your man did, if she had her own thing up tight. Now her so-little plan, to keep you fightin' your man, hopin' that you'll put him down, But when you throw him out, Lord, Lord knows, she'll have him 'fore his feet hit the groun'. CHORUS: You better beware of a dog that bring a bone; she's only tryin' to break up your home. You better beware of a dog that bring a bone; she's only tryin' to break up your home. She's the leader of the grapevine, always on time, to spread some gossip aroun'. She'll try to use the one that she's talkin' to, just puttin' the next one down. She'll tell you [to] watch me, and me to watch you; we'll try to steal each other's man, But you can be damn sure she'll try to steal 'em both, if ever she got a chance. CHORUS You know she'll find a way to pick your mind, put you on the gossip train. She'll use what you say to bring about hate between you, Shirley, Annie, an' Jane. CHORUS
As sung by Etta James on "How Strong Is a Woman: The Island Sessions" (1993) |
