Just let ourselves get together right now

Ball and chain!!!

Yeah, I heard that, man. how are you, how, I mean, er, how are you out there ? are you are you ok ? you know that you stand stoned and you got enough water and you got a place to sleep and everything. what does that mean ? huh ? because, you know, because we ought, all of us, you know, I don't mean to be preachy but we ought to remember that in that case it means promoters, too, that music's for grooving, man, and music's not for putting yourself through bad changes. you know, I mean you don't have to go take anybody's shit, man, just to like music, you know what I mean ? you don't. so er, so if you're getting more shit than you deserve, you know what to do about it, man. you know, it's just music. music's... music's supposed to be different than that

Hey, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn't I make you feel, oh honey, like you were the only man I ever wanted, that I ever needed ?
Oh ho, honey, didn't I give you nearly everything that I ever had to give ?
Oh, you know I did!
But each time I tell myself that i, I think I've had enough
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!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy daddy daddy
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Yes indeed, whoaa

You're out on the streets, you're looking good
Honey, deep down inside I know you know it ain't never been right
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never hear me cry at night, oh!
Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again

Say come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on and take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby
You know you got it, if it makes you feel good
I want you to feel good now, yeah!!!

Say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little piece of my heart, darling, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Have a, have another little piece of my heart, baby, baby, baby
You know you got it — alright!!!

Say! whoaa, have another little piece of my heart now, daddy
Break it, break it, break it, I want you to want it, take out the inside of me
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, baby, baby
You know you got it, if it makes you —
I want you to feel good, lord, alright!!!
Yeah!!
