Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead

When you give more than you get

You're in danger

You may find that you're in love

With a stranger

But who knows what evil

Lurks within the hearts of men?

It's vanity, insanity

You play what you can't win

If you find that you're losing

Girl, it's time to get on moving

'Cause there's danger

Heartbreak dead ahead

Well, it only takes one second, girl, to learn

That playing with fire will get you burned

So girl, don't you be foolish

They say that love is blind

But it's clear as the highway sign

That reads 'Danger, heartbreak dead ahead'

Heartbreak dead ahead

Better mind, girl, read the sign, girl

Yeah, danger and heartbreak dead ahead

I want somebody's boy

(Heartbreak dead ahead)

Start packing up your heart

Now listen to me, girl

There's nothing to be gained

So don't keep going on in vain

There's danger and heartbreak dead ahead

Yeah, I said, "There's danger and heartbreak dead ahead"

Danger, I said, "There's danger"

(Heartbreak dead ahead)

I said, "There's danger and heartbreak dead ahead"

Baby, yeah, I said, "There's danger"

(Heartbreak dead ahead)
