Lyrics

Dangerous

[Verse 1]

The things you do aren't good for my health

The moves you make you make for yourself

The means you use aren't meant to confuse

Although they do, they're the ones that I would choose

[Pre-Chorus]

And I wouldn't want it any other way

You wouldn't let me anyway

[Chorus]

Dangerous

The way you leave me wanting more

Dangerous

That's what I want you for

Dangerous

When I am in your arms

Dangerous

Know I will come to harm

[Verse 2]

The lies you tell aren't meant to deceive

They're not there for me to believe

I've heard your vicious words

You know by now it takes a lot to see me hurt

[Pre-Chorus]

And I couldn't take it any other way

But there's a price I have to pay

[Chorus]

Dangerous

The way you leave me wanting more

Dangerous

That's what I want you for

Dangerous

When I am in your arms

Dangerous

Know I will come to harm

[Interlude]

[Bridge]

Dangerous

[Chorus]

Dangerous

The way you leave me wanting more

Dangerous

That's what I want you for

Dangerous

When I am in your arms

Dangerous

Know I will come to harm

Dangerous

The way you leave me wanting more

Dangerous

That's what I want you for

Dangerous

When I am in your arms

Dangerous

Know I will come to harm

Dangerous

The way you leave me wanting more

Dangerous

That's what I want you for...
