Dangerous Lyrics

When love comes knockin' at your back door
Good thing at home but you still want more
That's dangerous, so dangerous
Lipstick traces and long blonde hair
Tell tale signs of a love affair
It gets dangerous, so very dangerous

Don't go lookin' for trouble
It's got a way of findin' you
Why bring it upon yourself
By doin' the things that you do
It's so dangerous, so very dangerous

So you give her your story and tell her the facts
It's gettin' harder to cover your tracks
And that's dangerous, so dangerous
You're always sayin' this will be the last time
But you keep on returnin' to the scene of the crime
And that's dangerous, so very dangerous

Don't go lookin' for trouble
It's got a way of findin' you
Why bring it upon yourself
By doin' the things that you do
It's so dangerous
Don't go lookin' for trouble
It's got a way of findin' you
Why bring it upon yourself
By doin' the things that you do
It gets dangerous, so very dangerous

When love comes knockin' at your back door
Good thing at home but you still want more
That's dangerous, so very dangerous
It gets dangerous, why bring it on yourself
Trouble will find you
