A Little More Dangerous

(Well, look who's

back!)

I got a haircut down on Union Street,

Bought a pair of shoes that hurt my feet,

The barber said, "Boy,

you're looking sharp," I said,

"Wait till you see me after dark!" Got a little money and

a borrowed car, A brand-new dent and an old guitar,

Mama said, "Son, you better behave," I said,

"I'll do my best— But I can't be saved!" Now,

I ain't looking for a fight,

And I ain't running from the law,

But I saw you smiling from across the room,

And I forgot what manners are!

I'm a little more dangerous,

A little less polite,

Got a whole lot of trouble In my plans tonight!

I can be your gentleman,

I can be your fool,

But don't you go expecting me To play by every rule!

Oh, honey, take a chance on us,

I'm a little more dangerous!

I walked into the county fair,

Saw a pretty little lady with a ribbon in her hair,

She said, "You look familiar,

have we met?" I said,

"Not yet, darling, But there's still time left!" She said,

"I heard about your reputation."

I said, "That's mostly exaggeration."

She said, "You always talk this fast?" I said,

"Only when I'm hoping That the moment lasts!" She had a laugh

like a screen-door slam,

A look that said she knew just who I am,

She took my hand,

said, "Here's the deal: Quit talking,

boy, and show me something real!"

I'm a little more dangerous,

A little less polite,

Got a whole lot of trouble In my plans tonight!

I can be your gentleman,

I can be your fool,

But don't you go expecting me To play by every rule!

Oh, honey, take a chance on us,

I'm a little more dangerous!

Now, my daddy wore a necktie,

And my granddad wore a vest,

They both knew how to treat a lady,

And I reckon they knew best.

But Daddy never met you,

And Granddad

never knew What a man might do When a woman like you

Says, "Come on, I've got something to prove!"

I'm a little more dangerous!

(Just a little!) A little less polite!

(That's right!) Got a whole lot of trouble And we're dancing through

the night! I can be your gentleman,

I can be your fool,

But if you want a quiet evening,

Honey, I ain't right for you!

Oh, honey, take a chance on us,

I promise I won't make a fuss— Well,

maybe just a little fuss!

I'm a little more dangerous!

"Now, who said I was trouble?"
