Janis Joplin - Little Girl Blue

Little Girl Blue

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.

What else, what else is there to do?

Oh, and I know how you feel,

I know you feel that you're through.

Oh ah-wah-ah sit there, hmm, count,

Ah, count your little fingers,

My unhappy, oh, little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops

Oh, feel'em falling down, honey, all around you.

Honey, don't you know it's time?

I feel it's time,

Somebody told you, 'cause you got to know,

That all you ever gonna have to count on,

Or gonna wanna lean on,

It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do,

When they're falling down, honey, all around you.

Oh, I know you're unhappy.

Oh sit there, ah, go on, go on

And count your fingers.

I don't know what else, what else,

Honey, have you got to do.

And I know how you feel,

And I know you ain't got no reason to go on,

And I know you feel that you must be through.

Oh honey, go on and sit right back down.

I want you to count, oh, count your fingers,

Ah, my unhappy, my unlucky

And my little, oh, girl blue.

I know you're unhappy,

Ooh ah, honey, I know,

Baby, I know, just how you feel.

Piece Of My Heart

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man —yeah!

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 it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!

Oh, oh, break it!

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 it!

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.

Oh, oh, break it!

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,

Oh, oh, have a!

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

To Love Somebody - Janis Joplin

There's a light, certain kind a light,

Never ever, never shone on me, no, no.

Honey, I want, I want my whole life

To be lived with you, babe,

That's what I want oh, was to be

Living and loving you.

There's a way, oh everybody say

You can do anything, every thing yeah.

But what good, what good,

Honey, what good could it ever bring

'Cause I ain't got you with my love

And I can't find you babe, no I can't.

You don't know, you don't know what it's like,

No you don't, honey no you don't know,

You don't know what it's like

To love anybody.

Oh honey, I wanna talk about love

And trying to hold somebody

The way I love you babe,

And I've been loving you babe.

In my brain, oh I can see your face again,

I know my frame of mind, yeah.

But nobody, nobody has to ever be so blind,

Honey, like I did, I know I was blind,

Honey, I tell you that I was, I was very, very blind.

Oh but I'm just a girl,

Can't you just take a look at me and tell,

Tell that I live, honey I live and I breathe for you,

Don't you know I do!

But what good, what good,

Honey, what good could ever do

'Cause I ain't got you, that's all I've ever wanted,

And I ain't got you, babe, oh but I've been looking 'round.

But you don't know, you don't know what it's like,

No you don't, no, no, no, you don't know,

Honey, you don't know what it's like

Oh to love anybody.

Oh honey I wanna talk about

Trying to hold somebody when you're lonely

The way I loved you, baby,

And I just want you to know I tried.

Oh I know that there's a way

'Cause everybody came to me one time and said,

Honey, you can do anything,

Every little thing, and I think I can.

Oh, but what good, what good,

Honey, what awfully good can it ever, ever bring,

'Cause I can't find you with my love,

And I can't find you babe, oh anywhere.

Oh, but you don't know,

You don't know what it's like,

No you don't and you never ever, ever did.

You don't know, honey,

You don't know what it's like

Oh, to love anybody.

Oh, honey I wanna talk about trying to hold you.

Oh baby, baby, baby, yeah,

But you don't know,

You don't know what it's like,

And you never ever, ever did,

I said I tried to throw my love around you

And I tried to help you darling.

But you never ever, no you never ever,

No you never ever, no you never ever,

I know that you know that

No you never ever, ever, ever,

Oh let me throw my love,

Throw my love all around you, yeah.

To Love Somebody - Eric Burdon and The Animals

To Love Somebody 




There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
And I want my life to be
To live with you
To live with you, baby


There's a way
Most everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what good does it bring
If I ain't got you, if I ain't got you


You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you


In my prayer
I see your face again
And I'm preaching every night
How can love be so blind
I'm so sad,
I'm so so sad


There's a way
Most everybody say
To do each and every little thing
What good does it bring baby
If I ain't got you baby, if I ain't got you baby


You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you


[Solo]


There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
And I want my life to be baby
To Live with you baby
To Live with you baby


You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
God, love somebody
The way I love you


To love somebody
The way that I love you


To love somebody
The way I love you


You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you


The way I need you
The way I want you


To love somebody
The way I love you


Every night, every day
To love somebody
The way I love you


Janis Joplin
