This 9-Year-Old’s “Piece Of My Heart” Cover Proves She’s A Janis Fan

In The Face Of Innocence Shines A Soul

How is it possible for such a young and fresh little person to embody the soul, passion and heart that Janis was famously known for? Well, somehow it is and the hope that this exists lies in the lungs of 9-year-old Cilia as she performs a stunning rendition of “Piece Of My Heart” that will take your breath away…

“I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it, take another little piece of my heart now, baby!”

Although Janis took this song as her own to the heights that no artist can ever reach, it is interesting that this was originally recorded by Aretha Franklin’s sister, Erma, who put it on the R&B charts in 1967 at #62.

Interesting Quote: “Her version is so different from mine that I really don’t resent it too much.”- Erma Franklin

Well, after watching this adorable little child, that most likely does not even know what real pain is, cover this with such energy, soul and heart- we are more than impressed.

Check out the adorable Cilia winning over the crowd with Janis’s “Piece Of My Heart.”

+ Piece Of My Heart Lyrics +

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

Didn’t I make you feel like you were the only man yeah!
And 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 another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
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 said 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,
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 another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c’mon now.
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it whoa!

Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
