Lyrics

Dangerous Times

[Verse 1]

I don't know if it's in my mind

Watching all the shadows behind me

'Cause I could get hurt, or maybe this time

The cloud has got a silver lining

And if I'm scared I got a right to be

I know you could wound me critically

[Chorus]

These are dangerous times and if I take some chances

Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?

If I give myself up to these circumstances

In these dangerous times would you keep me safely?

[Verse 2]

Over the hill there's an army of fools

Waiting for their hearts to be broken

How do I know if I'm gonna explode

When I come out in the open?

'Cause even lovers can turn into enemies

I don't wanna be a casualty

[Chorus]

These are dangerous times and if I take some chances

Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?

If I give myself up to these circumstances

In these dangerous times would you keep me

Would you keep me

[Bridge]

Baby, would you keep me safely tonight?

(Baby, would you keep me safely)

Can I trust you with all of my affection?

Can I trust you to be on my side (Be on my side)

In these dangerous times?

[Chorus]

These are dangerous times and if I take some chances

Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?

If I give myself up to these circumstances

In these dangerous times would you keep me safely?

These are dangerous times and if I take some chances

Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?

If I give myself up to these circumstances

In these dangerous times would you keep me (Safely)

Would you keep me

[Outro]

Oh, baby, would you keep me safely tonight?

(Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?)

These are dangerous times, what would you do to me?
