Kari Kimmel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It should probably be creeping me out
But I like it, oh I like it
You got a crazy crazy look in your eye
Are you scheming are you telling me lies
'Cause I like it, oh I like it
but I don't really mind ooooh
You're kinda kinda dangerous
but it gets me high ooooh
You hypnotize me
and I like it yeah yeah
I'm so intruiged by the way that you touch me
you coming on so strong but I think it's sexy
I like it, oh I like it
You keep me guessing so I'm playing along
You're so aggressive and it's turning me on
Ooh I like it, oh yeah I like it yeah
You're getting kinda freaky
but I don't really mind oooooh
You're kinda kinda dangerous
but it gets me high oooooh
You hypnotize me
and I like it yeah yeah
I like the bad boys give me direction
I'm just a good girl, needing attention
Yeah so take me away
I like a man who's so in control
I'm not scared so come on let's go

but I don't really mind oooooh
You're kinda kinda dangerous
but it gets me high oooooh
You hypnotize me
