Berikut lirik lengkap lagu M.I.A dari Afgan dan Jackson Wang:
Now you always wear your heart upon your sleeve
I still think about you, even when I sleep
Why you always worried that I'm gonna leave
You don't have to do that, baby not with me
You ain't gotta switch up like that
Know you want love like that
Treat you so good right back
Don't say you want it
Say you want love like that Love like that
And just like that You come right back
You know you got my heart
And that's all I ever want
I told you from the start
That I won't
Won't go M.I.A., go M.I.A.
No need to be scared now
Know I'm gonna stay around
Won't go M.I.A., go M.I.A.
No need to be scared now Know I'm gonna stay around
I'm waitin' like that
Cloudy bay on deck
Lovin' you no test
Put myself on a bet
Don't hesitate
Nah nah nah nah
My lovin' for you girl it's true
Oh no
Got me at hello
It's like you're magic how you flipped my emotions
Don't try to assume
Girl I'm not leaving you
I'm swimmin' in feelings
Your love got me fienin'
'Jackson'
You ain't gotta switch up like that
Know you want love like that
Treat you so good right back
Don't say you want it
Say you want love like that
Love like that
And just like that
You come right back
You know you got my heart
And that's all I ever want
I told you from the start
That I won't
Won't go M.I.A., go M.I.A.
No need to be scared now
Know I'm gonna stay around
Won't go M.I.A., go M.I.A.
No need to be scared now Know I'm gonna stay around. []
