[Verse 1] Stood up by Nicole, a third night in a row
I guess she's on the road 'cause she never made it
But I'm always on time
But I'm out anyway, by myself for the day
I don't care, it's a shame, it's her bed and she made it
'Cause I'm always on time

[Pre-Chorus] You'll get back to me, don't tell me when
If I'll ever see you again
Why deal me in to clean me out?

[Chorus] Why build me up to drag me down?
When you're not around
It's such a bitter taste 'cause
Waiting in line at In-N-Out
So where are you now?
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A
You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A

[Verse 2] So I called just to say "What happened yesterday?
Or were you running late? Or was I just mistaken
For a different night?"

[Pre-Chorus] You'll get back to me, don't tell me when
If I'll ever see you again
Why deal me in to clean me out?

[Chorus] Why build me up to drag me down?
When you're not around
It's such a bitter taste 'cause
Waiting in line at In-N-Out
So where are you now?
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A
You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A

[Bridge] Stood up by Nicole, a third night in a row
I guess she's on the road 'cause she never made it
But I'm always on time
And it all goes around in the back of my head
Why can't you follow through with the things that you said?
I was there dressed to kill in the back of the cab
But you don't even show and you can't call me back

[Chorus] Why build me up to drag me down?
When you're not around
It's such a bitter taste 'cause
Waiting in line at In-N-Out
So where are you now?
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A
You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A
I guess you're M.I.A, A, A, A, A
You're always M.I.A, A, A, A, A
You're always M.I.A
