DANGEROUS

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson, Bill Bottrell and Teddy Riley

 

 

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

 

As she stalked 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

 

I never knew but I was

Walking the line

Come go with me

I said I have no time

And don’t you pretend we didn’t

Talk on the phone

My baby cried

She left me standing alone

 

She’s so dangerous

The girl is so dangerous

Take away my money

Throw away my time

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 living in vain

She called my house

She said you know my name (She called me)

And don’t you pretend

You never did me before (Don’t do, don’t you do it)

With tears in her eyes (You you, you you, you)

My baby walked out the door

 

She’s so dangerous

The girl is so dangerous

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

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

 

I cannot sleep alone tonight

My baby left me here tonight

I cannot cope ‘til it’s all right

You and your manipulation

You hurt my baby

 

And then it happened

She touched me

For the lips of

A strange woman

Drop as a honeycomb

And her mouth was

Smoother than oil

But her inner spirit

Was as sharp as

A two-edged sword

But I loved it

‘Cause it’s dangerous

 

Dangerous

The girl is so dangerous

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

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

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

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

(Ad-libs out)
