JLewArts Presents Miss Ella

Glad to Be Unhappy

Look at yourself.
If you had the sense of humor,
You would laugh to beat the band.

Look at yourself.
Do you still believe in rumor
That romance is simply grand?

Since you took it right
On the chin,
You have lost that bright
Toothpaste grin.

My mental state is all a jumble.
I sit around and sadly mumble.

Fools rush in, so here I am,
Very glad to be unhappy.

Unrequited love�s a bore,
And I�ve got it pretty bad.
But for someone you adore,
It�s a pleasure to be sad

Like a straying baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy,
I�m so unhappy,
But oh, so glad.

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!
An' 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!
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, and i cry all the time!
But 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.

I need 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!
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 �� whoahhhhh!!

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, 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.

Betcha Never

I saw you with that girl last night
The both of you were making eyes
You did it right in front of my face
As if I had no pride

And now you're always working late
You never have much time for me
And you're expecting me to believe
That you're not out with she

Tonight I give you my surprise
I hope that you won't mind
I'm giving you an eye for an eye
Baby I've found another

And he is my lover
And I'm going out for the rest of your life

I betcha never thought I'd go that far
I betcha never thought I'd break your heart
I betcha never even thought at all
I betcha never, no you never

I know that everybody lies, that I know I can't deny
But what if they're intentional
the intention of your crimes
Cause I know how much that I can take

I know my heart demands a change
If I can't have my way, then all I have to say
Tonight, I give you my surprise
In return for all the lies
I'm giving you and eye for an eye
Baby I've found another

And he is my lover
And we're going away for the rest of your life

Don't Go To Strangers

Build your dreams
To the stars above
But when you need someone true to love
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me

Play with fire till your fingers burn
But when there's no place for you to turn
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me

For when you hear a call to follow your heart
You'll follow your heart I know
I've been through it all and I'm an old pro
And I'll understand if you go

So make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need a little more than company
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me

[Piano solo]

So... make your mark for your friends to see
But when you need more than company
Don't go to strangers
Darling, come home to me
