Lyrics

[Intro: Gia Koka]
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my wave, OK!
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my waves, OK!

[Verse 1]
Let's make a quick getaway
This party's shit anyway
Oh we could go M.I.A
Tell me, tell me what you say

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been bored out of my mind
Sitting here all night
And you know I got my eye on you

[Chorus]
No lie, no lie
I've been vibing to you all of this time
Don't say "Goodbye" (Hey)
We're out here, so you know
You and I could be somewhere catching waves
I say, "Hi”, now let's go M.I.A
[Post-Chorus: Gia Koka]
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my wave, OK!

[Verse 2]
They keep spoiling my Saturday
Didn't wanna dance anyway
Everybody here all the same
But we can do things differently

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been bored out of my mind
Sitting here all night
And you know, I got my eye on you

[Chorus]
No lie, no lie
I've been vibing to you all of this time
Don't say "Goodbye" (Hey)
We're out here, so you know
You and I could be somewhere catching waves
I say, "Hi”, now let's go M.I.A (Let's go M.I.A)

[Bridge]
There's a place, I could recommend (Oh oh)
We could smoke one more again (Yeah)
Kinda happy that I lost my friends
Wasn't gonna stay till the end
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I, I've been bored out of my mind
Sittin' here all night
And you know I got my eye on you

[Chorus]
No lie, no lie
I've been vibing to you all of this time
Don't say "Goodbye" (Hey)
We're out here, so you know
You and I could be somewhere catching waves
I say, "Hi”, now let's go M.I.A

[Post-Chorus: Gia Koka]
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my wave, OK!
We could go, go, go M.I.A (Aye)
Catch me on my waves all-day
Whatcha wanna say to me? (Yeah)
Catch me on my waves, OK!
