Dangerous

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I awoke with a fright from an unusual dream We were performers way up on a flying trapeze The spotlight followed our silvery swings There were fanfares and drumrolls and everything Then it came to the part where we meet in midair And I held out my hands but your hands weren't there And I fell, and I fell That's when I woke with a fright from that terrible dream And you were there by my side like you've always been I wondered what it meant and I answered, "Who knows?" Just insecure I suppose [Chorus] It's a frightening and dangerous thing To give your heart to someone You relax, turn your back And they're gone [Verse 2] "Three hundred lost," the newsreader said In a wayward flight bound for Australia today I knew you weren't planning no Australian trip But I called the airport anyway As the girl ran her fingers down the passenger list I swear someone could have lived off the heartbeats I missed And I prayed, oh, I prayed That's when I heard you whistling and you walked in the door Whistling and walking like always before And I wondered was I mad and I answered, "Who knows?" I'm just insecure I suppose [Chorus] It's a frightening and dangerous thing To give your heart to someone You relax, turn your back And they're gone [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] It's a frightening and dangerous thing To give your heart to someone You relax, turn your back And they're gone And they're gone And they're gone [Outro] Ah Ah Ooh And they're gone Ooh And they're gone Ah Ooh
