song with hyperbole

Big Mouth by Jessie James


If you want a piece of my heart
You'll get a piece of my mind
-This is a hyperbole because you can't literally give a piece of your heart or mind to someone.

Without the sugarcoat babe
-The word sugarcoat is not literally putting a coat of sugar on something, it is just a word that represent the action of trying to make a situation better.

They don't wanna rock the boat
-People aren't literally rocking a boat; the phrase is an exaggeration of stirring up a situation and making it worse.
