I.o.u. Lyrics - Wretch 32

(baby, i.o.u) 

the way, when no one else was there you held my hand 

when i was weak you gave me strength to stand 

an lady who taught me to be your man 

i'll never forget that 

big sis' you're more like second mum 

mother's day gifts you'll be getting a second one 

breath of fresh air, i will give you my second lung 

even when we do get it wrong we still get along 

remember when we had a cat and dog? we used to fight like cat and dog 

flickin' through the catalogue before i ever had a song but now you're in my catalogue 

yeah, you take me higher than any e with a capital 

you know that i'm a g so i'ma always show you grattude 

first is, second mum, how am i gonna thank you all? 

when mum wasn't here you'd be shouting in my ear 

canon jumped into gear, it was like you had a manual 

running out of words, this ain't a chapter, it's a verse 

i'll be free by your side until they trap me in a hers 

i owe you everything i earn, everything is hers 

i'll write an i.o.u cause what's the man without the words?

baby, i.o.u, i vow forever 

baby, i.o.u, yes i remember 

baby, i.o.u, my best forever 

baby, i.o.u 

first mum, second god 

i pray we always get along 

you're raising my princess, hope she reaches your echelon 

i didn't know a queen had to be a king too 

you worked every hour and you cooked and cleaned too 

that little bit of flour made a three-course meal 

that's why your hotels have always got a sea view 

you were the first to give me breath, the first to help me with my steps, even the first to call me wretch and now they call me 32 

any time i'm on the stage, man i feel your presence 

if i only had a word i'd give you half the letters 

and if i ever done time you'd do half the sentence 

lucky i never went, when i got my ss arrested 

cause you always kept me in when i was running the streets 

and any time i came late you was gunning for me 

i'm uncomfortable until you living comfortably 

and i will never take a penny because i love you for free
