I met her at a ballroom gig
She said my braces were to big
I said: I like your 2-tone clothes
She said: I like your broken nose

I bought her a lot of drinks that night
She bought me nothing but a fight
She said I wasn't mister right
It's over it's over it's over

It was a skinhead love affair
You know a skinhead love affair

I took her down to last resort
She stole a shirt, I went to court
She said she'd always stand by me
Even when I did d.c
I thought about her everyday
Like lovers do when they're away
She never came to visit me
It's over it's over it's over

It was a skinhead love affair
You know a skinhead love affair

On the day that I got out
My skinhead girl, she weren't about
She got herself a soul girl perm
Joined the canvey island firm
I got down on bended knee
And asked her if she'd marry me
She said: Skinhead can't you see?
It's over it's over it's over

It was a skinhead love affair
You know a skinhead love affair

Just a skinhead in love
Just a skinhead in love
A skinhead,a skinhead, a skinhead in love
I'm just a skinhead in love
