Danger
Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All full of fright and I’m face first on the floor
‘Cause I got a stomach full of butterflies
When I look into your eyes
You make me want more / You are such a mystery
When you are next to me, you drive me crazy
You had me since the minute you strolled in
And even though you’re cold
Bridge:
I know you could be a danger
‘Cause to me you are only a stranger
Now I’ve got goose bumps under my skin
I know I shouldn’t but I want to let you in
Now all I wanna do is hold your hand
And tell everyone that you’re my man
You’re like the hero who fell from the sky
And now I’m fallin’ too and I don’t know why
(Bridge)
You make me want more
