I've got a chip on my shoulder with your name on it 
Knock it off
So don't just stand there foolin' if you don't want it 
Knock it off
I say you're either a lover or you are a liar
So don't you push too hard
You're playin' with fire

Baby, make your move
Step across the line 
Touch me one more time 
Come on, dare me
I want to take you on 
I know I can't lose
I'll be loving you if you just dare me

Looks like you're lookin' for trouble
And I'd say you found it
You found it
You'll have to come right through me
There's no way around it 
You found it
I hope that lean hungry look means what it's saying
'Cause I'm just sittin' on ready, ready and waiting

Baby, make your move 
Step across the line 
Touch me one more time 
Come on, dare me 
I want to take you on 
I know I can't lose 
I'll be loving you if you just dare me

If there's any truth behind your intentions 
This night's gonna end up on fire (you better believe it)
You better believe it
Oh yeah

Oh, dare me, dare me, dare me

Baby, make your move
Step across the line 
Touch me one more time 
Come on, dare me
I want to take you on
I know I can't lose
I'll be loving you if you just dare me

Baby, make your move
Step across the line 
Touch me one more time
Come on, dare me
I want to take you on
I know I can't lose
I'll be loving you if you just dare me

Baby, make your move
Step across the line 
Touch me one more time
Come on, dare me
I want to take you on
I know I can't lose
I'll be loving you if you just dare me
