You're the Dangerous Type
Veronica Swift Lyrics

One, two
Starting off with a count, the song speaks of a certain temptation that has come knocking

Comes a temptation, I never resisted
The singer has faced a temptation, which she finds hard to resist

Love is a danger, I'm willing to risk it
The singer considers love to be a risk, but is still willing to take it on

You are that danger, and danger is Y-O-U
The person the song is addressed to is seen as the danger that the singer is willing to take on

And so you better not come knocking on my door or I'll throw away the key
The singer warns the person not to come back for more, or face dire consequences

You better not go messing round my heart you'll end up hurting me
The person is urged not to toy with the singer's emotions, or else they will end up hurting her

You've got the kind of eyes that I could go for
The singer is drawn to the person's eyes, finding them attractive

You got the kind of lips that makes me want to know more
The person's lips are also found to be alluring, prompting the singer to want to know more

And so you better not say nice things just for me or I'll tum-tum-tumble down
The person is warned not to say things they don't really mean, or the singer's heart will crumble

And if you ever smile that secret smile that lovers smile I'll drown
The singer is susceptible to the person's loving smiles, and could easily fall for them

You're just the kind of a guy that I always dreamed of, but one I'd never meet it seemed
The person is described as someone the singer has always dreamed of, but didn't think she'd ever actually meet

Of course you know that once the flame has started you've got to let it burn and glow or I'll be broken hearted
The singer acknowledges that once love starts, it must be allowed to continue to flourish, or else she will be heartbroken

Please say you'll love me or set me free
The singer wants the person to either express their love for her, or let her be

Cause you're the dangerous type of a guy for me
The person is described as being a dangerous type of guy for the singer

I saw you first, how well do I remember a stranger on the street
The song describes the first time the singer saw the person, recalling a stranger on the street

And when I saw no ring upon your finger my heart skipped a beat
The singer was excited to see that the person was not married, and her heart skipped a beat

You soaked the seeds of love that soon must flower
The person is seen as having planted the seeds of love, which will soon blossom

You got my motor racing ninety miles an hour
The person has the power to get the singer's heart racing at an intense pace

I don't believe I ever felt infatuation at such a crazy sting
The singer reflects on the intensity of her feelings, saying that she has never felt infatuation so acutely

I had never known a heaven here on Earth where every day was spring
The singer feels like she has finally found happiness and joy in this person, in a way that feels like every day is a beautiful day

so tell me if there's no hope for my scheming pinch me awake and stop this dreamin'
The singer is desperate to know if she has no chance with the person, so she can stop her fantasies

Don't you know that once the wheel is turning Acceleration makes it go until the brake is burning
The song warns that once love starts, it can't be stopped easily, and the few attempts to do so will cause pain

Cause you're the dangerous type of a guy Cause you're the dangerous variety of male species for me
The song once again warns of the person's dangerous ways, and how they are just the type of person the singer is drawn to, even if that could lead to heartbreak
