Piece Of My Heart (Janis Joplin cover)
. . .



You do what you want to do.
I'll leave it all up to you.
In time, I'll fall in love again.
A hot love growin cold.
Just when you thought
You'd found a heart of gold.
Looks like, I've been fooled again.

Oh but it's all right, with me now
I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, I'm bound to win
Cause I'll fall in love
I'll fall in love again

And you're always sittin' ring side
Just a rollin' with the changing tide
The tide has washed you
From my mind.
And I guess you think
You've got it made
Oh but then you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind.

Oh but it's all right, with me now
Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck,
Yes I'm bound to win
Cause I'll fall in love
Yes I'll fall in love again

Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea, I'll fall in love again
I'll fall in love again baby,
I said now I'll fall in love again
Yes i'll fall in love again

Here's something to compare it to
Like the little things you used to do
Like giving more than you take.
Funny how the reasons grow
Then the very next things you know
The odds change, dividing up the cake.

Hey but it's all right, with me now
I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck,
Yes I'm bound to win
Cause I'll fall in love
Yes it's all right, with me now
I'll fall in love again
Oh don't worry bout' me babe
I'll get along somehow
I'll fall in love again
Now it's all right, now it's all right
I'll fall in love again
(Fades)

I've heard it called by different names
All over the world, but it's all the same.
Oh There's so many ways to make love
A million ways, I've been thinking of.
Oh yea!

But there's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
Yea!

Now, How many things can get you high
I'm gonna try em all just once before I Die.

And you can analyze this situation
To me it's all just mental masturbation
Hugh!

There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

Now quickly, check the hands on the Clock
It's 8:05, it's time to rock

And this world can disagree
They don't understand how it can be.
And it's not my point of view,
It's a fact, and you know that it's true
Hugh!

Oh yeah!

There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

Crank up the drums, crank out the Bass
Crank up my Les Paul in your face

Yesssss!

There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

There's only one way,
There's only one way,
There's only one way to rock.

Yeah to rock!

To Rock!

Ow! One way to rock!

Her love is red hot when she comes undone
Never thought gettin' burned could be so much fun
Always comin' up with something new
Yea, that woman taught me a thing or two
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
We go out driving in my 6.6 yea
Bypass the city head straight for the sticks
Shut off the lights
Turn off the key
No sooner set the brake she jumps on top of me
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Now let it burn
Ohhh yea
I like it hot
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
No time for friends, no time for rest
Straight home from school, she starts to get undressed
It's five below but it's hot down here
I get so hot every time she comes near
Turned on to love like it's the latest style
I get a response from just a look with a smile
She's like a bomb that's about to explode
Just on touch and she begins to unload
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
She takes me higher
My baby's on fire
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Oh, now let it burn

What makes him stand and fight
When he only wants to love?
And why do they push so hard
When he only needs a shove?

Everytime I see him give
It's his turn to take
Everytime I see him go
Everybody says to wait

Can't get loose, you can fight like hell
But you can't get loose, you can dream
But you can't get loose, it's holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose, oh, no, no

What makes on man rich?
How's another man get so poor?
What make someone care so much
For things another man can just ignore?

Some questions go unanswered
And they have for quite some time
Something's forever sacred
We're just prisoners of our own mind

Oh, can't get loose, we can fight like hell
But we can't get loose, we can dream
But we can't get loose, keeps it holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose, shake it, shake it
Can't get loose

There she sits with stars in her eyes
But too afraid to dance
'Cause every guy that she holds so close
Just wants to get in her pants

Oh yeah
Can't get loose
Can't get loose
Can't get loose
Can't get loose

Tell me what keeps her by his side
When she's treated just like dirt
The fear of the dark unknown
Appears to be much worse than the hurt

So she stays up nights and dreams
Of a knight in shining armor
Who will rescue her one day
While time keeps going against her

Ooh, can't get loose, yeah you can fight like hell
But you can't get loose, you can dream
Oh but you can't get loose, keeps on holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose, shake, shake

Can't get loose, yeah just fight like hell
But you can't get loose, keeps on holdin' on, holdin' on
And you can't get loose, oh no no
I know you can't get loose, you can shake it, shake it

Can't get loose, I know you fight like hell
But you can't get loose, yeah you can dream
Ooh but you can't get loose, go on and fight like hell
But you can't get loose, shake, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it

But you can't get loose, ooh
Can't get loose
Can't get loose, ooh
Can't get loose
Yeah, can't get loose

. . .



Head bangers in leather
Sparks fly in the dead of the night
It all comes together
When they shoot out the lights
50,000 wats of power
And it's pushin' overload
The beast is ready to devour
All the metal they can hold
Reachin' overload
Start to explode

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

Tight pants and lipstick
She's riding on razor's edge
She holds her own against the boys
Yea, cuts through the crowd just like a wedge
Ohh, can you feel the static
So many contacts being made
We've got up front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal noise

(Solo)

It's your one way ticket to midnight
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right
Call it Heavy Metal
Desperation on a red line
Call it Heavy Metal
Higher than high, feelin' just right!
Call it Heavy Metal Noise
Heavy Metal Noise
Heavy Metal Noise
Heavy Metal Noise
Call it Heavy Metal

When I'm staring into space
You wonder what I'm thinking of
No one's ever crossed my mind
When I'm thinking about you, my love

All my memories
My special fantasies
There's someone I owe them to
And baby, it's you

When I'm dreaming in my sleep
Many worlds I travel to
My soul is yours to keep
I always will return to you

Until we can fly away
Go where the angels play
Become a kiss from the sun to the day
Baby

(Ooh baby, it's you) Oh, yeah
(Ooh baby, it's true) It's true
(Ooh baby, it's you) Oh, yeah
Baby, it's you

When I'm beaming of light
So sure of myself and this place I'm in
It's always fresh and new
That something, I'm in touch again

And it's no mystery
How it happens to me
You're the one I owe it to
Yeah, baby

(Ooh baby, it's you) Forever and ever
(Ooh baby, it's true)
(Ooh baby, it's you) Oh, yeah
(Ooh baby, it's true)

(Ooh baby, it's you) Everyday
(Ooh baby, it's true)
(Ooh baby, it's you) You know it's true
(Ooh baby, it's true)

. . .


You and I have stood on separate sides
If we get too close we'd only hide
Any other way but face to face

And I'd be willing to give you all
So take a little step, you don't have to fall
If you want the fruits, you'll have to taste

Surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Tuggin' on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need girl is you

Now everybody knows I'm stuck on you
So what's with all these games that we go through
You can take your time and watch me walk away

Or surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need girl is you

Don't ya see I been riding out the tide
Patient right from the start
But all this waiting's like an arrow in my side
Look at me, can't you see my heart
Beat, beat, beat, beat, beating for

Surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need girl

I could be the one that you've waited for
But you'll never know once I shut the door
I'm gonna make my move, don't let me walk away

Oh, baby just surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Tuggin' on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need is your surrender

I don't wanna be the one
Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need

Is your surrender, so I can give you my love
Surrender, I don't wanna be the one
Who's tuggin' on an empty sleeve
I can't stop 'cause all I need

Is your surrender, so I can give you my love

. . .


I must be stoned right outta my head
I did not hear one thing that you said
Lately I'm walkin' 'round in a daze
This feeling comes and goes in big waves

I'm on the inside lookin' in
Yeah, I'm on the inside that's where I've been

I see one soul just driftin' astray
And I run to chase that demon away
There's me, there's him, there's you and there's us
All by the same name, so what's the fuss?

Huh, I'm on the inside lookin' in
Here I am on the inside, wearin' thin
Yeah, I'm on the inside lookin' in
I'm on the inside (inside) lookin' in

Be careful don't kill the flame
Unless you want to end the game
Be careful don't go too deep
The climb back may be a bit steep

I must be new around this place
I do not recognize one face
Ring in my ears so loud, I can't see
Ringin' just like one UXB

I'm on the inside lookin' in
Yeah, I'm on the inside, that's where I been
Hey, I'm on the inside lookin' in
Here I am on the inside, wearin' thin

Yeah, I'm on the inside lookin' in
Come on to the inside, that's where I been
Huh, to the inside
I'm on the inside
On the inside lookin' in

Come on in

. . .


Watch out standing in the road ahead
She got long blonde hair, all dressed in red
Yeah now I'm all alone but there's a room for three
Is she lookin' good? Soon enough I'll see
Come here

Sweet hitchhiker, I love you so
Sweet hitchhiker, I dig your clothes, huh
Sweet hitchhiker, honey I need to know
Sweet hitchhiker, come one, come on
Come on let's take a ride

I'll pull ya baby like I got ten wheel drive
I'm gonna thrill ya 'til ya wanna eat me alive
We'll take a ride down south for a short trip, huh
Come on, don't just stand there baby with your hand on your hip
Come over here

Sweet hitchhiker, 'Cause I love you so
Sweet hitchhiker, I sure dig your clothes
Sweet hitchhiker, honey I need to know
Sweet hitchhiker, come one, come on
Come on let's take a ride

I ain't no convict
No, I ain't no rapist
I maybe a little but crazy
But I'm not insane, not insane, no, no, ow

Blaupunkt blastin' my favourite song
Sun's shining down, hot and strong
Yeah, why don't you drive? Baby, here's the key
Just slide on in mama, this one's on me
Over here

Didn't I make you feel
Like you were the only one?
And didn't I give you everything I could
Well didn't I get it to you now, baby?

After all the love I gave you
There was never enough
Well I'm gonna show ya baby
That this man can get tough

Just come on, come on, come on, come on
And (take a)
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
(Oh, break a)
Break another little piece of my heart and throw it away
(Oh, take a)
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
You know you got it
If it makes you feel good, oh yeah

Out there in the streets lookin' good
And in your heart ya know it ain't right, it just ain't right
Yeah, and ya never, never, never, never hear me
When I cry all night

I keep tryin' to tell myself that I
Can't stand the pain
But then ya hold me in your arms, ooh baby
And I gotta say it again

Just come on, (come on), yeah come on, (come on)
(Take a)
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
(Oh, break a)
Break another little piece off, and just throw it away

(Ooh) You know you got it
If it makes you feel good

Oh, just come on, (come on), come on, (come on)

You can take it, take it, baby

Another little piece of my heart now baby

Just take a piece and break it off and just throw it away
(Oh, take a)

(Oh, break a)
Take it, break it
