Lyrics

[Chorus]
Got shades, hide my face faded
Hide my shade, days always waste away
Stay MIA
Strangers on my case, dangers in my face
Days I wanna change my name
That's why I stay MIA
MIA
That's why I stay MIA
MIA, MIA
[PostChorus]
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
[Verse 1]
I can't tell if I'm meant to be here
Pull up at the party, I know nobody here
Talking 'bout who got more money
Who got Gucci or Versace, I don't
That's what you're on, I don't belong around here
Strung around
[Chorus]
Got shades, hide my face faded
Hide my shade, days always waste away
Stay MIA
Strangers (Strangers) on my case, dangers (Dangers) in my face
Days I wanna change my name
That's why I stay MIA
MIA
That's why I stay MIA
MIA, MIA
[PostChorus]
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
[Bridge]
All of us here, we ain't got nobody
Bodies on the weekend, week out
You ain't got love for nobody, nobody
[Chorus]
Got shades, hide my face faded
Hide my shade, days always waste away
Stay MIA
Strangers (Strangers) on my case, dangers (Dangers) in my face
Days I wanna change my name
That's why I stay MIA
MIA
That's why I stay MIA
MIA, MIA
[PostChorus]
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
M-I, M-I, M-I-A
