Something bout Jackson, you can't pass it up
You don't want to hurt me, but you ain't in love anymore
Something about a friend with a house, or a couch, or whatever

I wish you'd just stop
Baby, just stop

You're talking reasons
That you lost me back and I'm leaving
You keep going on about something
No, I don't hear nothing
Girl, why can't you see: It's just Mississippi to me
And the more that you say, the more that it hurts
Baby, why can't you just let it be
Mississippi to me

You keep on trying to explain it away
It makes you feel better, but it makes the pain even worse
Don't tell me you're sorry, don't paint me a picture I mean it

I don't wanna know, baby just go

You're talking reasons
But you lost me back and I'm leaving
You keep going on about something
But I don't hear nothing
Girl, why can't you see: It's just Mississippi to me
And the more that you say, the more that it hurts
Baby, why can't you just let it be
Mississippi to me
Mississippi to me

It could be anywhere
I don't care, you'd still be breaking my heart
It doesn't matter why you're going, just that you are

You're talking reasons
But you lost me back and I'm leaving
You keep going on about something
But I don't hear nothing
Girl, why can't you see: It's just Mississippi to me
And the more that you say, the more that it hurts
Baby, why can't you just let it be
Mississippi to me
Mississippi to me
