Song Lyrics

Deep mississipi
The seasons don't change
The well ain't got no water
And the sky ain't got no rain
The road don't have no detour
And I don't have no change
You don't have the time of day
For anyone else's pain

So you're cutting up my heart
Just to pass the day away
Go ahead and give it to me
Cut it up and cry
Go ahead and give it to me
Cut it up and cry
(Go ahead and give it to me) don't say goodbye
Go ahead and give it to me

I look for an answer
I look for a way
If I thought it would do any good
I'd get down on my knees and I'd pray
But you won't listen to reason
And I just can't go astray
'Cause you're the meanest old woman
And baby I like it that way

So you're tearing up my heart
Just to pass the day away
Go ahead and give it to me
Cut it up and cry
Go ahead and give it to me
Cut it up and cry
Go ahead and give it to me
Don't say goodbye (go ahead and give it to me)

You won't listen to reason
But I just can't go astray
'Cause you're the meanest old woman
But baby I like it that way

So you're messing up my mind
Just 'cause you want to play
And you're tearing up my heart
Just to pass the day away
Go ahead and give it to me
Cut it up and cry
Go ahead and give it to me
Cut it up and cry
Go ahead and give it to me
Don't say goodbye

Go ahead and give it me
Go ahead and give it me
