8. “I’ll get her wetter than ever / four letters are never the question / she likes when I’m messy / and I like when she’s undressing”

– “wRoNg”

Shallow AF. Basically, ZAYN isn’t looking for something that’ll last – He’s thinking about “action.” No transcendent thoughts; sex only.

9. “Cause I’m a fool for you and the things you do / I’m a fool for you and the things, the things you do …”

– “fOol fOr YoU”

“Fool For You” ranks as one of the best songs from Mind of Mine, but the refrain is pretty simple…

10. “So take it off, let’s break down all of our walls / right now I wanna see it all / I don’t wanna cool off, so let’s cross the lines we lost…”

– “BoRdErZ”

Pleasure…Sex…

11. “This ain’t my scene, this wasn’t my dream, it was all yours / of course I got caught up in this game and you know I won’t say names of who’s to blame”

– “tRuTh”

Well…

12. “Smoking too much, it’s starting to fog up my clarity / travelling in the day but you’re still looking far to me”

– “IUcOzAdE”

WTF ZAYN is talking about? Does ZAYN know what he’s talking about? Random AF!

13. “Push me up against the wall, don’t take it easy / you like it hard like me, it’s what you need / let’s get naked and explore our inner secrets”

– “TiO”

“TiO”= take it off. Lyric and song make reference to sex.
