Lyrics
When you give more than you get
You're in danger (you're in danger)
You may find that you're in love
With a stranger (with a stranger)
For who knows what evil lurks, within the hearts of men?
It's vanity, insanity
To play when you can't win
When you find that you're losing
It's time to get on moving
Cause there's danger
And heartbreak dead ahead, yeah
It only takes one second girl, to learn (to learn)
That playing with fire will get you burned (get you burned)
Now girl, don't you be foolish
They say that love is blind
But it's clear as the highway sign
That reads "Danger and heartbreak dead ahead"
Heartbreak dead ahead
Read the sign, girl
You better mind girl
Yeah, danger and heartbreak dead ahead
Once the lying starts (danger, heartbreak dead ahead)
Start packing up your heart
Listen to me, girl
When there's nothing to be gained
Don't keep holding on in vain
Cause there's danger and heartbreak dead ahead
I said there's danger
I said there's danger (heartbreak ahead)
It's danger
