  • You pack your bag, you take control
    You're moving into my heart and into my soul
    Get out of my way, get out of my sight
    I won't be walking on thin ice to get through the night
    Hey, where's your work? What's your game?
    I know your business but I don't know your name

    Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous
    She's got what it takes to make ends meet
    The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
    You know she's a little bit dangerous

    You turn around, so hot and dry
    You're hiding under a halo, your mouth is alive
    Get out of my way (get out of my way)
    Get out of my sight (get out of my sight)
    I'm not attracted to go, go deeper tonight
    Hey, what's your word? What's your game?
    I know your business but I don't know your name

    Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous
    She's got what it takes to make ends meet
    The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
    You know she's a little bit dangerous
    Oh, just a little bit dangerous

    Hey, hey, hey, what's your word? What's your game?
    I know your business but I don't know your name

    Hold on tight, you know she's a little bit dangerous
    She's got what it takes to make ends meet
    The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
    You know she's a little bit dangerous
    She's armed and she's extremely dangerous
    She's got what it takes to make ends meet
    The eyes of a lover that hit like heat
    You know she's a little bit dangerous
    Oh, just a little bit dangerous

    Oh, oh, oh, hey, where's your work?
    Mmm, what's your game?
    I don't know your name
    Hey, you
    Oh, just a little bit dangerous
    I don't know your name Writer/s: Per Gessle

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyExactly thirty years ago on this day in 1990 {February 25th} "Dangerous" by Roxette peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks) on Billboard's Top 100 chart, for the 2 weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for both those weeks was "Escapade" by Janet Jackson...
    "Dangerous" spent a total of twenty one weeks on the Top 100...
    Between 1989 and 1994 the group had twelve records on the Top 100 chart, six made the Top 10, and all six either peaked at #1 or at #2...
    The four of the six to peak at #1 were "The Look" for 1 week in 1989, "Listen To Your Heart" for 1 week in 1989, "It Must Have Been Love" for 2 weeks in 1990, and "Joyride" for 1 week in 1991...
    And two that reach #2 were the above "Dangerous" and ""Fading Like A Flower (Every Time You Leave)" for 1 week in 1991...
    Marie Fredriksson, lead singer and keyboardist for Roxette, passed away at the age of 61 on December 9th, 2019 in Djursholm, Sweden...
    May she R.I.P.
  • Don from B G, KyThis made it to the number 2 spot in the USA in 1989. It was on the LOOK SHARP! album. If it had made it to numer 1, that album would have had 3 number one songs in the USA.
