Dangerous Man
(Dwight Yoakam)
Chorus:
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
He'll tell you the right things
About all the wrong people
He'll smile and he'll say "Hey, you and me
We think just he same"
You better make sure that you read
All the rules first
'Cause he runs a crooked game
Chorus:
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
His words are all vain
And his promise is empty
His message is loud
But it ain't meant to be clear
He hides all the clues
That have left his hands stained and dirty
And he'll wash them with your tears
Chorus:
He's a dangerous man
He's got blood in his plans
Better watch out where you stand
'Cause he's a dangerous man
He'll make you believe that he's your friend
But don't forget it's just pretend
And he's a dangerous man
The Hourglass
And playing with another heart
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache
He's loved in seven languages
Jewel box life diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky
Heaven help him, when he falls
Diamond life, lover boy
He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
City lights and business nights
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance
No place to be ending but somewhere to start
No need to ask
He's a smooth operator
