Dangerous
Michael Jackson - Dangerous

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
She said don’t you pretend we didn’t
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
And 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
And she said you know my name
And don’t you pretend
You never did me before
With tears in her eyes
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

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 and words
Were as sharp as
A two-edged sword
But I loved it
’Cause it’s dangerous

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

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
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
