Type Dangerous Lyrics in English
I came in the door dripped in Balenci
Cropped leather coat and some nine inch Fendis
The crowd opened up and I started to strut
I need my space, but I’m signing autographs and such
Hit the little girls’ room to powder my nose
Then came in three hatin’ ass hoes
They don’t know the meaning of water nor soap
I don’t have time for the rigamarole
Taking off my coat, clearing my throat
Certified diamonds like the songs I wrote
Look at my wrist, check out the light show
Can you handle this? I don’t know
You can meet me up at the pent
Knock ‘em out the box with a chocolate kiss
Hope I ain’t sayin’ too much
I like ’em dangerous
Lookin’ for the dangerous type
I like ’em dangerous
I’m lookin’ for the dangerous type
I said I like ’em dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
Fresh outta Sing Sing, nah I’m just playin’
That was just a castle and an evil king
Made my escape, yes I had to flee
Now it’s sex in the city and a couple little flings
Motorcycle man had a yen for me
Liked to rush through the tunnel at a breakneck speed
Computer boy toy, he was fun for a while
Till I caught him on the web hacking other girls files
You know the guy say he worked construction
Turns out he was movin’ them pounds through customs
They wanna settle down but I just don’t trust ’em
They wanna lock me down, but there’s no handcuffin’
Said we’d be together, but you didn’t stay forever
Now I guess it’s just whatever till the 12th of never
I’ve never been afraid of love
That’s why I like ’em dangerous
I’m lookin’ for the dangerous type
I like ’em dangerous
I’m lookin’ for the dangerous type
I said I like ’em dangerous
Oh yes, I want someone to step to me
Oh yes, I want someone to rescue me
Oh yes, I’ve never been afraid of love
Oh yes, that’s why I like ’em dangerous
Oh yes, I want someone to step to me
Oh yes, I want someone to rescue me
Oh yes, I’ve never been afraid of love
Oh yes, that’s why I like ’em dangerous
Said I like ‘em dangerous
