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!

— Janis Joplin Misattributed Piece of My Heart (1968)

Music’s for grooving man, and music’s not for puttin’ yourself through bad changes, y’know?

An’ I don’t want much outa life,
I never wanted a mansion in the south.
I just-a want to find someone sincere
Who’d treat me like he talks,
One good man.

Please don'tcha do it to me baby,
Either take this love I offer
Or honey let me be.
