[Verse 1]
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
I like it from behind
Round to back, red to white
I'm pure inside and silent
[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
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna 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]
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
[Bridge]
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
[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
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
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 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, red to white
I'm pure inside and silent
[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
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna 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]
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
[Bridge]
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
[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
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
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
