Dangerous
Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a red lip, black leather jacket in the summer
I'm a whiskey on a Monday just because I wanna
I get my headstrong from my mama
And my daddy taught me how to face the thunder
Keep my head up, ain't going under
Yeah I'll walk straight through the fire
I'm dangerous
Oh you won't see me coming
But yeah you're gonna feel it
When it hits you like a bullet from a gun
When I get my sights set
Anybody in my way better run
I'm kicking down doors and Im taking names
And damn I've got good aim
I'm dangerous
I'm not the kind who's ever gonna be giving up easy
And I'm never gonna change to please nobody
I'm on a fast track, I'm on a wild streak
And I'm gonna make the whole damn world see
I'm dangerous
Oh you won't see me coming
But yeah you're gonna feel it
When it hits you like a bullet from a gun
When I get my sights set
Anybody in my way better run
I'm kicking down doors and Im taking names
And damn I've got good aim
I'm dangerous
I get my headstrong from my mama
And my daddy taught me how to face the thunder
Got my cold heart from my exes
And my will to run from the fences
I'm dangerous
Oh you won't see me coming
But yeah you're gonna feel it
When it hits you like a bullet from a gun
When I get my sights set
Anybody in my way better run
I'm kicking down doors and Im taking names




And damn I've got good aim
I'm dangerous
