  • Well I'm a lover not a fighter
    So I kiss that girl and say goodbye now
    'Cause I came for kicks not for arguments
    No whoa oh oh
    'Cause I'm a lover not a fighter

    Leave a message after the beep
    Hello?

    Somebody fill in the gaps, somebody fill in the dots
    I feel like Cruella de Vil the way I be stealing the spot
    When all the shutters is down, bitch we be still in the shop
    I shop for clothes when it's closed, that's why I feel like the boss
    In my vintage eBay watch, that's why I feel like the Hoff
    Weren't gonna wait for no institute not to gimme a job
    These critics giving me bollocks, that's why I give 'em my crotch
    These paps are getting too nosey, that's why I give 'em my snot
    'Cause I just tripled my cost of living: steak, salmon, lobster, chicken
    That's made in my Boffi kitchen by Rosa Dacosta women
    Come from disturbing London, the city of foster children
    Grateful what God has given save us from constant sin
    In the city of God, I'm from the city of God
    Bitch, I've been up in the shard, I really been at the top
    Separate the man from the man dem, find out who's real and who's not
    Can't take the heat? Then get out the kitchen and gimme the pot
    You know what?

    Well I'm a lover not a fighter
    So I kiss that girl and say goodbye now
    'Cause I came for kicks not for arguments
    No whoa oh oh
    'Cause I'm a lover not a fighter
    Hello?

    I used to sit on the settee eating a tin of spaghetti
    Now women think that I'm sexy because I been on the telly
    Car like double-oh-seven, them alloys spin in Pirellis
    I'm with a gold digging heffa, I call her Miss Moneypenny
    Well is it real? Is it fake? Somebody gimme a break
    I grew up on minimum wage and I grew up in an estate
    These rappers calling me bruv and they can't even relate
    Are they even ready and willing do anything that it takes?
    I saw my teacher from college, she says she thinks that I'm great
    I'm gonna give her the D 'cause she never gimme an A
    She's tryna get in my jeans, I'm tryna kick off my Js
    Take off my D&Gs and give her my DNA, 'cause
    All these bitches be loving me, sipping my bubbly
    Watching Hangover hungover, be the quickest recovery
    Couple bad grades, I did shit in my study leave
    And now she wants my name and a kiss on them double D's
    And I love it

    I've got too much love to burn babe
    Ain't got no time to exchange words babe
    Things to do people to see
    Yeah I guess we all gotta play the game

    Well I'm a lover not a fighter
    So I kiss that girl and say goodbye now
    'Cause I came for kicks not for arguments
    No whoa oh oh
    'Cause I'm a lover not a fighter
