Am Cold looking woman Like a switch-blade knife Baby says "I'm gonna break the law tonight" Ooh, if your daddy could see you now Rock and roll rebel on a jailbreak run Big operator, but a little high-strung There's one in every crowd G You got it comin' to ya It happens every time Am That's what you get for a life of crime G D/F# You got it coming to you Em D If you cross that line C And you can't back up When the going gets tough D And if the fire's that hot You better kiss the girl goodbye Chorus: Am D C Slow down sister Am You're burn, burn, burnin' At the speed of light D C You better slow down sister Am Put on the brakes Won't get thru the night Machine gun love Gonna shoot to thrill I'm tellin' you that little girl's kiss could kill She got me stranded on a one-way street Can't break the chains The ties that bind Slayin' to the rhythm And my heart's in time Be where the taste is bittersweet You got it comin' to ya It happens every time That's what you get for a life of crime You got it coming to you If you cross that line When the lights roll down And you hit the ground It'll happen so fast You'll never even have a chance Chorus: Slow down sister I say look out now Danger in the little girl's eyes Slow down sister Well you're gonna find out Trouble in paradise That ain't nice You're a non-stop party You're a butterfly ball Twice around the block You're thinking you done it all Come on now baby You know it's true You want all the money And the price of fame Ride to glory On another man's name Now there's a lesson here for you You got it comin' to ya It happens every time That's what you get for a life of crime You got it coming to you When you cross that line And you can't back up When it gets real rough If the fire's that hot You better kiss the girl goodbye Chorus: Slow down sister Burn, burn, burnin' At the speed of light Slow down sister Put on the brakes Now we're gettin' thru the night You better slow down sister I said "Look out now" There's danger In the little girl's eyes Slow down sister Slow down, slow down Gonna find out there's trouble Trouble in paradise I said, slow!
