[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Ooo woah
I fell in love with a criminal
She stole my heart1 and I didn’t know2
She got me hooked3 after just a touch
Like ooo she’s so dangerous4
She got me locked up5
Tossin’ the key6
Even if I tried to run she wouldn’t let me leave
This could be love7
How could that be
I’m fallin for a perfect little heaven of a thief8
Bringing me down, but bringing me up
Not the type of girl that you would ever wanna trust9
Like ooo she’s so dangerous
She’s got a first time kiss that’ll lock you in10
She’s gonna break your heart but you can’t resist11
I know that I just met her, I know that I should know better12
Oooo she’s so dangerous
I thought she was just so innocent
And from the start I was giving in
She’s such a wreck and I can’t forget
That ooo she’s so dangerous13
She got me locked up
Tossin’ the key
Even if I tried to run she wouldn’t let me leave
This could be love
How could that be
I’m fallin for a perfect little heaven of a thief
Bringing me down, but bringing me up
Not the type of girl that you would ever wanna trust
Like ooo she’s so dangerous
She’s got a first time kiss that’ll lock you in
She’s gonna break your heart but you can’t resist
I know that I just met her, I know that I should know better
Oooo she’s so dangerous
She’s gonna let you down but you’ll take her back
She’s just a one way trip to a heart attack14
I know that I just met her, I know that I should know better
Oooo she’s so dangerous
Was just a shot in the dark
Now, I don’t know where it will landIn these lyrics, the man acknowledges that he took a risk by pursuing the girl.[/ref]
I let her tear me apart, yeah
I wish it never began15
She’s got a first time kiss that’ll lock you in
She’s gonna break your heart but you can’t resist
I know that I just met her, I know that I should know better
Oooo she’s so dangerous
She’s gonna let you down but you’ll take her back
She’s just a one way trip to a heart attack
I know that I just met her, I know that I should know better
Oooo she’s so dangerous
Oooo she’s so dangerous
Oooo she’s so dangerous16
