Lyrics

Dangerous Type

Can I touch you

Are you out of touch

I guess I never

Noticed that much

Geranium lover

I'm live on your wire

Oh, come and take me

Whoever you are

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight

Oh, inside angel

Always upset

Keeps on forgetting

That we ever met

Can I bring you

Out in the light

My curiosity's

Got me tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

Oh she's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight

Museum directors

With high shaking heads

They kick white shadows

Until they play dead

They want to crack

Your crossword smile

Oh, can I take you

Out for a while, yeah

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type, alright

She's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight tonight, tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type, tonight

She's a lot like you

Come on and hold me tight tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you

Come on hold me tight tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you

Come on hold me tight tonight

She's a lot like you

The dangerous type

She's a lot like you
