[Verse 1]
Somethin' 'bout Jackson, you can't pass it up
You don't wanna hurt me, but you ain't in love anymore
Somethin' 'bout a friend with a house, or a couch, or whatever

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I wish you'd just stop
Baby, just stop

[Chorus]
You're talking reasons
But you lost me back and I'm leavin'
You keep goin' on about somethin'
Though I don't hear nothin'
Girl, why can't you see it's just Mississippi to me
And the more that you say, the more it hurts
Baby, why can’t you just let it be Mississippi to me

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don’t wanna know
Baby, just go

[Chorus]
You're talking reasons
But you lost me back and I'm leavin'
You keep goin' on about somethin'
Though I don't hear nothin'
Girl, why can't you see it's just Mississippi to me
And the more that you say, the more it hurts
Baby, why can’t you just let it be Mississippi to me
Mississippi to me

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
You're talking reasons
But you lost me back and I'm leavin'
You keep goin' on about somethin'
Though I don't hear nothin'
Girl, why can't you see it's just Mississippi to me
And the more that you say, the more it hurts
Baby, why can’t you just let it be Mississippi to me
Mississippi to me
[Outro]
Somethin' 'bout Jackson, you can't pass it up
