On a rooftop overlooking the East London mosque
They said, they said, they said, they said
You can't go around breaking young girl's hearts
I say, I say, I say, I say keep it casual, easy
And you looked so right
You looked so right, you looked so right
You looked so right in that red dress
Like you could start a hundred wars
Oh, how I'd love to be a rock for you
To be anything you could rely on
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
But I'll get caught out
So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try
But we forget the lines, forget the lines
And you looked so wanton in the back of the car
Like you could start a hundred wars
Oh Marlana, I'm too young
To be the father to our son
