The opening track from Jack White’s debut album Blunderbuss. He describes the aftermath of a relationship, taking the old “she took a piece of me when she left” phrase and describes it literally.

I was in the shower so I could not tell my nose was bleeding
Dripped down my body to the floor right below my feet and

She peeked around the corner, asked me if I'm okay
She put the ice upon my tongue and then it melted away
Alright, oak floor, soft pine bedroom door, yeah
Speak easy, make her mine if she's bored, yeah
And there's a dry pine ceilin' that is outta my reach
I woke up and my hands were gone, yeah
I looked down and my legs were long gone
I felt for her with my shoulder, but there's nobody there
I thought she left a note, just the tag on the pillow there
And then I noticed there's a rag next to my ear
The clock was ringin', but it wasn't nothin' that I could hear
Alright
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sometimes someone controls everything about you
And when they tell you that they just can't live without you
They ain't lyin', they'll take pieces of you
And they'll stand above you and walk away, yeah
That's right, and take a part of you with them
