One Week of Danger
The Virgins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're best friends
We hold hands
We're in love
You're my man

darling no that's not me
I'm a ghost in the sheets
well is there something that you like about her?
Yes I like the way that her body bends in half
And is there something that you love about her?
No there ain't a woman in the world I won't let go

come on baby we can belong
Please don't you spoli it
Don't state what's wrong
Lets get together
And get it on
Lets get those clothes off before I'm gone
You talk about me like you own me baby
That's not fair
I told you that I had somebody else
You did not care
And now you're talking on the phone
You're telling all of your friends
We love eachother x8

well is there something that you wanted from her?
Yes I want her legs her body and her cash
And is there something that you needed from her?
No and if she's playing hard to get I'm out the door
Come on baby don't say its true
Please say you love me like I love you

come on baby we can belong
Please don't you spoli it
Don't state what's wrong
Lets get together
And get it on lets
Get those clothes off before I'm gone
You talk about me like you own me baby
That's not fair
I told you that I had somebody else
You did not care
And now you're talking on the phone




You're telling all of your friends
We love eachother x8

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Virgins' song One Week of Danger depict a complicated and messy love triangle. The singer of the song is in love with someone who is in a relationship with someone else. The two of them engage in sexual activities and talk about loving each other, even though the singer knows it is wrong to cheat. The partner in the relationship is described as someone who is only interested in the physical aspects of the singer and the other woman. They are in it for fun and money. The singer is torn between wanting to be with their lover and the guilt and shame they feel for betraying someone else's trust.


The chorus of the song, "Come on baby we can belong, please don't you spoil it, don't state what's wrong, let's get together and get it on, let's get those clothes off before I'm gone" highlights the lustful and impulsive nature of the situation. The singer is desperate to stay connected to their lover and cling on to the moments they have together, even though they know it can't last.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was inspired by band member Donald Cumming's own experience with infidelity. He has stated that the song is based on his affair with a woman who was in a relationship. Another interesting fact is that the song was featured in the television show "Gossip Girl," which helped to bring it to a wider audience.

Love to play this tune at my bro's bar- where the music is country & the clientele is even countrier. It's weird how even diehard Cash types dig it.
