Country artist Faith Hill included the song on her debut album, Take Me as I Am (1993). It was a number one hit for her in 1994. Hill’s version took on a more passive tone coupled with traditional country instrumentation. Prior to recording the track, Hill had never heard Janis Joplin’s rendition. Hill’s producers refused to allow her to listen to the Joplin version until she had completed her own recording.
Hill re-recorded the track for the soundtrack to the TV series King of the Hill, released in 1999. This edgier version can also be found on the 1998 international pressing of her third album, Faith (re-titled «Love Will Always Win» outside the U.S.) and 2001 international greatest hits album There You’ll Be. Her original version was included in her 2007 greatest hits album The Hits.

Faith Hill – Piece Of My Heart Lyrics
Didn’t I make you feel
Like you were the only man
And didn’t I give you everything
That a woman possibly can
Each time I tell myself I think I’ve had enough
Well I’m gonna show you baby that a woman can be tough
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
‘Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
You’re out on the street lookin’ good
Baby deep down in your heart you know that it ain’t right
No you’ll never hear me cryin’
You know I cry all the time
Each time I tell myself that I can’t stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin’ once again
So come on, come on, come on and
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
‘Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
Each time I tell myself that I can’t stand the pain
You hold me in your arms and I start singin’ once again
So come on, come on, come on
Take it
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
I know you will
Break it
Break another little piece of my heart now baby
‘Cause you know you got it if it makes you feel good, so good
