Paula Cole Band Mississippi lyrics

I k-k-know I'm big and proud all over, not just on the stage
My secret self has many sides that laugh and crush and sting
I'm red and thick like fire, I like it from behind
Round to back and red to white, I'm pure inside and silent

I-I-I on the wild, got a piece of my heart on the sole of your shoe
I've got a little bit of thunder trapped inside of that cloud
That dog in you, spit me out into the Mississippi

I k-k-know who can love my many selves, the wife, the bitch, the Rapunzel
The one who cries and calls for you, the one who is always alone

I-I-I on the wild, got a piece of my heart on the sole of your shoe
I've got a little bit of thunder trapped inside of that cloud
That dog in you, spit me out into the Mississippi


Oh, Mississippi, come and wash my pain away
Oh, Mississippi, come and take my pain away
I feel I'm drowning, I feel I'm drowning, I feel I'm, I feel I'm dyin'

I got a piece of my heart on the sole of your shoe
I've got a little bit of thunder trapped inside of that cloud
I got a piece of my heart on the sole of your shoe
I've got a little bit of thunder trapped inside of that cloud

I got a piece of my heart on the sole of your shoe
I've got a little bit of thunder trapped inside of that cloud
That dog in you, spit me out into the Mississippi
