Lyrics
You're doing it every night, you play with my emotions
You engage in this behavior every night, toying with my feelings.
Before we go on fighting let's get one thing straight
Before we continue arguing, let's clarify something.
Is it going to be him or me--You know I need an answer
Is your choice going to be him or me? I need a definitive answer.
And now down to the wire and I just won't wait
We are running out of time, and I won't tolerate further delays.
#1:
[Instrumental or omitted lyrics]
There's something going on, I want to hear it from you face-to-face
There's a situation, and I want an honest explanation directly from you.
Ya--you know it won't be long, before you make your last mistake
You are aware that it won't take much time before you make a significant and irreversible mistake.
Cause you're dangerous, you've got it coming to you
You possess a dangerous quality, and consequences are imminent.
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do?
This dangerous situation has arisen, and I'm uncertain about the appropriate course of action.
Dangerous--And I'm a lot like you
I share similarities with you in this dangerous context.
SOLO
[Instrumental solo]
We got to talk it out, there's three sides to every story
We need to discuss this matter; there are different perspectives to consider.
Well--ya, there's your side, there's my side and then there's the truth
There's your viewpoint, my viewpoint, and then there's the objective truth.
I want to hear it from you, ya say we're all the same
I want to hear the truth directly from you, even if you claim we are all alike.
But I know you ain't no angel,
I'm aware that you are not a perfect or innocent person.
Cause who you gonna blame when you wake up
When you find yourself waking up next to a stranger, who will you blame?
Beside a stranger
[Reiteration of the dangerous situation]
Dangerous--You got it coming to you
The consequences of your actions are inevitable and well-deserved.
Dangerous--Now what am I going to do, Baby
In this perilous situation, I'm uncertain about how to proceed, baby.
Dangerous--And I'm a lot like you
[Reiteration of the shared similarities in the dangerous context]
I'm a lot like you
I am much like you in this scenario.
SOLO
[Instrumental solo]
REPEAT #1
[Repetition of the situation, possibly for emphasis]
