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
