Lyrics Paula Cole – Mississippi

I 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

CHORUS:
I’ve 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 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

CHORUS:

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… dying
