[Verse 1]
Just a small town girl
Broke my heart like a small town girl
She lied to my face, then she slept around
And she dug my heart right into the ground
Six feet under, under the covers
And I thought that maybe she could be a little bit more than a bit of a whore
I guess not

[Pre-Chorus]
She was from that M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I
She's from the Mississippi River, and she's looking to find
Another lover to spend all the nickels and dimes on her
On her

[Chorus]
So should I hang around or start running away?
'Cause every time I stay
She leaves my heart on the floor
What you doing this for?
I gave her all of my, all of my lovin'
Oh, but she threw it and threw it away
I gave her all of my, all of my lovin'
Oh, but she threw it and threw it away

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
She threw it and threw it away
No, no
[Verse 2]
Yeah, just a big city kid
Never really thought I'd be in this type of shit, but
She like a thief in the night
I thought maybe she could make herself a good bride, wrong
Thought the stars were aligned, wrong
I thought she was from the east-side, wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I go, "Wrong, wrong"
She's from the Mississippi River and she's looking to find
Another man to spend their money

[Chorus]
So should I hang around or start running away?
'Cause every time I stay
She leaves my heart on the floor
What you doing this for?
I gave her all of my, all of my lovin'
Oh, but she threw it and threw it away
I gave her all of my, all of my lovin'
Oh, but she threw it and threw it away

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
She threw it and threw it away
No, no
[Bridge]
I gave you all my lovin', and you threw it away
'Cause you and me got nothin' in common
You and me got nothin' in common
I should have turned and ran away
I don't know why I decided to stay

[Chorus]
I gave her all of my, all of my lovin'
Oh, but she threw it and threw it away (She threw it away)
I gave her all of my, all of my lovin' (All of my lovin')
Oh, but she threw it and threw it away (Threw it away)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
She threw it and threw it away
No, no

[Outro]
Why'd you throw out my lovin'?
Why'd you throw out my lovin'?
