XXXO (Main Mix) Lyrics

[Verse 1: M.I.A.]
Time after time, you been copping mine
Like, "Can I have a good time at yours tonight?"
'Cause every time we try to get close
There is always something that I'm thinking about

[Pre-Chorus: M.I.A.]
(You want me)
XXXO, XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO, XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO, XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO

[Chorus: M.I.A.]
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not

[Verse 2: M.I.A.]
A knock at the door, and then we hit the floor
And all I know is you leave me wanting more
I don't let it show, but I think you know
'Cause you tweeting me like Tweety Bird on your iPhone

[Pre-Chorus]
(You want me)
XXXO, XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO, XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO, XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO
(You want me)
XXXO

[Chorus: M.I.A.]
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
XXXO
Y'all just so metrosexual
This is not my politically correct flow
This is more like letting that TEC blow
This is more like a left when they say right
When the world do you wrong but you play right
This is more like pushing that white rock
When the world try to put you in a tight box
Coming down in the drop with the system crank
'Cause you don't give a fuck what the system think
Y'all comin up M.I.—M.I.—M.I.A
Semi-spray when you in my way
I'mma be who I'm gonna be
I'm just a boy from the hood
What you want from me?
Ugh

[Interlude]
XXXO
X-X-X-X-X-X-O

[Chorus: M.I.A.]
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not
You want me be somebody who I'm really not

[Outro: M.I.A.]
You want me be
You want me
You want me be
You want me
