The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man?
Yeah
And 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 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, I cry all the time
And 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 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
I need you to come on
Come on
Come on
Come on and 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, oh
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
