Deep in the heart of the south london concrete jungle

There lives a strange creature

Beware, the south london lover boy.

Girls, stay safe out there

Best you stay prepared

He's a south london lover boy.

Beware

And be wary

It's oh so scary.

He'll lime bike to your door step

Spliff hanging off his lips

He'll grab your ass and squeeze it before he leans in for a kiss

He's just so charismatic

And he talks as if he's doing road

And he says, "I'm too toxic for you, darling, but when we kiss, it feels like home".

Beware

The south london lover boys

They know where to find you

Especially when you're home alone too

Beware (beware, beware)

He'll pull up on you in an all-black car

And start reading you poems out the window

He's not looking for a heart, just your pillow to rest his head.

Girls, stay safe out there

Best you stay prepared

He's a south london lover boy.

Beware

So aimless

It's oh so dangerous.

Well, there's another side to this story

For there's a mean kinda beast a-lurking

And it hunts these streets, and it may call you by a whistle, if it finds you, pretty woman, the first thing, uh...

T-take care not to antagonise it

Do-don't offend its fragile ego

Stay calm and kind, and polite, darling, or else the outcome could be lethal.

Beware

The south london lover boys

Beware (beware, beware)

He'll pull up on you in an all-black car

And start reading you poems out the window

Girls, stay safe out there

Best you stay prepared

He's a south london lover boy.

Alright, girls

Wherever you're listening

In your house, in your car

Walking home from work after dark

I need you to repeat after me

Stay wary, girls, it's scary out there, sing.

Girls, stay safe out there, sing

Girls, stay safe out there, sing

Best to stay prepared, sing

Best to stay prepared, sing

Girls, stay safe out there, sing

Girls, stay safe out there, sing

It's best to stay prepared

Uh-uh-uh, we think she needs a chance.

Girls, stay safe out there

Girls, stay safe out there

Best to stay prepared

Best to stay prepared

Girls, stay safe out there

Girls, stay safe out there

Best to stay prepared

Best to stay prepared

He's not looking for your heart, just a pillow to rest his head.

Ooh, that boy is a south london lover boy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
