Lyrics

M.I.A.

[Verse 1]

I've been in a haze, running round in a daze

’Cause I don't fit any space, so I'm flipping the page

Yeah, I’m overworked with no pay

So I've been drifting away, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Time to start again, try to be my own friend

I know it don't make much sense to you

This phase I'm in, but I need to make an escape

So I'll be drifting away, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Ooh, I could leave today

Here's a whole lot of this nothing going on, yeah, yeah

And I can't live this way

Gotta let that engine run

[Chorus]

'Cause I’m MIA, undercover, I’ll be in my zone

Yеah, I'm MIA, you can leave a messagе at the tone

’Cause I'm MIA, everybody wonders where I've gone

But I'm MIA, I’m MIA

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

[Verse 3]

Going where I choose, I won't need an excuse

There'll be South Pacific views, then it's on to something new, yeah

I got so much left to live

Don't wanna say I didn't try it

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Ooh, I could leave today

Keep on driving 'til I know I'm lost, yeah, yeah

Make a sweet escape

Gonna let that engine run

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm MIA, undercover, I'll be in my zone

Yeah, I'm MIA, you can leave a message at the tone

'Cause I'm MIA, everybody wonders where I've gone

But I'm MIA, I'm MIA

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

[Bridge]

Oh, 'cause I'm MIA (Yeah, I'm on the way)

Oh, 'cause I'm MIA

Oh, 'cause I'm MIA (Yeah, I'm on the way)

Oh, 'cause I'm MIA

[Pre-Chorus 3]

So I'm gonna leave today

Disappear into the setting sun, oh, yeah, yeah

Finally a sweet escape

So watch me, watch me run

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm MIA, undercover, I'll be in my zone

Yeah, I'm MIA, you can leave a message at the tone

'Cause I'm MIA, everybody wonders where I've gone

But I'm MIA, I'm MIA

[Post-Chorus]

'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

[Outro]

'Cause I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA

I'm MIA, yes, I'm MIA, oh
