You pack your bag, you take control You're moving into my heart and into my soul Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I won't be walking on thin ice to get through the night Hey where's your work? What's your game? I know your business but I don't know your name... Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous She's got what it takes to make ends meet, The eyes of a lover that hit like heat You know she's a little bit dangerous You turn around, so hot and dry, You're hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive Get out of my way! Get out of my sight! I'm not attracted to go-go deeper tonight Hey what's your word? What's your game? I know your business but I don't know your name... Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous She's got what it takes to make ends meet, The eyes of a lover that hit like heat You know she's a little bit dangerous Oh just a little bit dangerous... Hey what's your word? What's your game? I know your business but I don't know your name... Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous She's got what it takes to make ends meet, The eyes of a lover that hit like heat You know she's a little bit dangerous
