Lyrics for Love Gets Dangerous

The love of a woman A fear of the phone A secret message to a happy home I've never been so scared I never knew you cared Love gets dangerous Love gets dangerous Dangerous There's a fear that comes from being in danger Being in love with a total stranger Putting our futures in jeopardy When love is a secret, fear is the key When we meet in the street My terror is complete Love gets dangerous Love gets dangerous Dangerous Like a drug that threatens to take my life Lust is a cancer, love is a vice When she holds me I understand Respect and fear go hand in hand No need to act tough It scares me just enough Love gets dangerous Love gets dangerous Dangerous Love gets dangerous Dangerous Dangerous
