Dm
The way she came into the place, I knew right then and there,
There was something different about this girl.
The way she moved; her hair, her face, her lines, divinity in motion.
lked the room, I could feel the aura of her presence,
Every head turned, feeling passion and lust.
The girl was persuasive; the girl I could not trust.
The girl was bad; the girl was dangerous.

C7        A#             Dsus4       D
I never knew, but I was walking the line.
C7           A#            Dsus4    D
Come go with me, I said; I have no time.
           C7           A#              Dsus4        D
She said; don't you pretend, we didn't talk on the phone.
C7        A#                 A7
My baby cried, and left me standing alone.

Chorus:
          Dm7                       G/D
She's so dangerous; the girl is so dangerous.
A#maj7
Take away my money, throw away my time,
G/D                               A7
You can call me honey, but you're no damn good for me.

She came at me in sections with the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love, I was at the point of no return
Deep in the darkness of passion's insanity
I felt taken by lust's strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive, this girl I could not trust
The girl was bad, the girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was livin' in vain (Hee!)
She called my house, she said "You know my name"
(You know my name!)
"And don't you pretend you never did me before"
(Don't you, don't you, baby!) (Hee!)
With tears in her eyes, my baby walked out the door
(Don't you, don't you, don't) (Hee! Hee! Hee! Hee!)

Chorus:
She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous (Hee-hee!)
Take away my money, throw away my time
You can call me honey, but you're no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous (Hee-hee!) (Dog gone!)
I have to pray to God, 'cause I know how lust can blind
It's a passion in my soul, but you're no damn lover friend of mine

A#maj7    Am7            A#maj7
I cannot sleep alone to-night;
        Am7             A#maj7
My baby left me here to-night.
         Am7                  Gm7
I cannot cope, 'till it's all right.
                Am7        Em7/A        A7
You and your manipulation; you hurt my baby.

Dm
And then it happened; she touched me.
G
For the lips of a strange woman,
drop as a honeycomb.
Dm
And her mouth was smoother than oil,
But her inner spirit and words were as
  G
sharp as a two-edged sword.
       A7
But I loved it, 'cos it's dangerous.

Chorus:
Dangerous (Hee!)
The girl is so dangerous (Hee-hee!) (Hee!)
Take away my money, throw away my time (Oh!)
You can call me honey,
but you're no damn good for me
Dangerous (Hee!)
The girl is so dangerous (Hee-hee!) (Hee!)
Take away my money, throw away my time (Dog gone!) (Oh!)
You can call me honey,
but you're no damn good for me
Dangerous (Hee!)
The girl is so dangerous (Hee-hee!)
Take away my money, throw away my time (Woah!) (Oh, yeah!)
You can call me honey,
but you're no damn good for me
Dangerous (Hee! Hee!)
The girl is so dangerous (Hoo-hee! Hoo!) (Dog gone!)
I have to pray to God, 'cause I know how lust can blind
It's a passion in my soul,
but you're no damn lover friend of mine

Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
My baby
You been, you take, uh
You don't, don't, don't
You turn, my baby
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Dan'gerus
Dan'gerus, dan'gerus
Hoo!
Dan'gerus, dan'gerus
Hoo!
