Danger
CALE J.J. & CLAPTON Eric Lyrics

Danger, she's out into the night
A warning that the woman in question is out and about, possibly looking for something or someone

Danger, she's such a pretty sight
Despite being warned of the possible danger, the woman in question still captures attention due to her looks

She was treated so badly it seems
The woman has experienced mistreatment in some form in the past, possibly leading her to seek out something more fulfilling

Now she's lookin' for a dream
In search of a better life, the woman is pursuing a dream

Danger, she walks the streets alone
The woman is wandering around without any company, making herself more vulnerable

Danger, all the boys she don't know
The woman encounters boys or young men about whom she knows nothing, increasing her risk of danger

All the men, they look her way
Due to her appearance, many men notice the woman

Could be hers, hers today
The men who take notice of the woman could potentially become involved with her

Walked into a love affair
The woman entered into a romantic relationship

Didn't seem going nowhere
The relationship wasn't headed in any particular direction

With no choice, she thought she might
Feeling like there were no other options, the woman decided to take a risk

Now she took the rule right into the night
Despite the potential danger, the woman is following her heart and taking a chance by heading out into the night

All the boys she now knows
After her experiences on the streets, the woman has now become familiar with many of the boys who frequent them

And all the men, who look her way
The woman still attracts the attention of many men

Risk she'd take to find someone new
The woman is willing to put herself in danger in order to find a new romantic interest

She don't know where or who
The woman is unsure of where to look or who to trust

She wants to do, doin' it right
The woman is looking to do things the right way, but is unsure of how to proceed

She's gone out into the night
Despite the potential danger, the woman has left to search for someone or something she's looking for

Danger, she's out into the night
A repetition of the earlier warning that the woman is wandering around at night

Danger, she's such a pretty sight
Another repetition of the fact that despite being warned of danger, the woman's appearance is still striking

Danger, she's out into the night
The final warning that the woman is still out and about, emphasizing the potential danger that comes with wandering alone at night

Danger, she's such a pretty sight
A final repetition of the fact that the woman's appearance is noteworthy
