[Labrinth:]

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 woah oh oh

'Cause I'm a lover not a fighter

Leave a message after the beep

[Beep beep beep]

Hello?

[Tinie Tempah:]

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?

[Labrinth:]

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 woah oh oh 'cause I'm a lover not a fighter

Hello?

[Tinie Temaph:]

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 007, 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 Ds

And I love it

[Labrinth:]

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 woah oh oh 'cause I'm a lover not a fighter

Hello?
