Lyrics
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
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
They know where to find you
Especially when you're home alone too
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
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
