Lyrics

Intro
[Slow heartbeat → dirty guitar slides in]
Daylight knows the good girl.
Nighttime...
Knows better.
[Heavy guitar riff]
Verse 1
Monday through Friday, six A.M.,
Coffee black and I'm gone again.
Hair pulled back, got work to do,
Don't need nobody telling me what to.
I pay my bills, I earn my way,
Handle my business every damn day.
Everybody thinks they've figured me out—
That's because they've never
Seen me after sundown.
Pre-Chorus
When that sun starts falling,
Something wakes underneath.
I trade that daytime halo
For the devil underneath.
Chorus
I'm dangerous after dark,
Little gasoline,
Little spark.
Black boots,
Red lips,
Don't get too close
Unless you can handle this.
I'm dangerous after dark,
Got a wild side hiding underneath my heart.
Daylight gets the woman
Who's got everything under control—
But midnight...
Midnight gets my soul.
I'm sweet when the sun's up...
Dangerous after dark.
Verse 2
Saturday night and the mirror knows,
Little black shirt and away we go.
Hair comes down,
Turn the speakers high,
That woman in the mirror's feeling alive.
Walk through the door,
Feel those eyes,
Don't need to turn around to know why.
One brave man finally makes his move—
I smile and say,
"Careful what you choose."
Pre-Chorus
You might like the fire.
You might like the flame.
But if you get burned, baby...
Don't go blaming my name.
Chorus
I'm dangerous after dark,
Little gasoline,
Little spark.
Black boots,
Red lips,
Don't get too close
Unless you can handle this.
I'm dangerous after dark,
Got a wild side hiding underneath my heart.
Daylight gets the woman
Who's got everything under control—
But midnight...
Midnight gets my soul.
I'm sweet when the sun's up...
Dangerous after dark.
Guitar Solo
[Dirty blues bends → heavy rhythm guitar → screaming lead solo]
Verse 3
He bought me one,
I bought the next,
Said, "You're not exactly what I expected."
I leaned closer,
Whispered in his ear—
"That's the point, sweetheart.
You don't know me yet."
He laughed and said,
"So what happens now?"
I looked at that clock
And looked back down.
Eleven fifty-nine...
Almost time.
Bridge
[Music drops to bass and heartbeat kick]
At twelve-oh-one...
The rules change.
Breakdown
[Low distorted guitar]
Good girl?
Maybe.
Wild woman?
Definitely.
Trouble?
Only if you can't keep up.
Build
You got ten seconds
To change your mind.
Ten...
Nine...
Eight...
Ah, hell.
[Full band explodes]
Too late.
Final Chorus
I'm DANGEROUS AFTER DARK!
Gasoline heart,
Electric spark!
Black boots!
Red lips!
Come a little closer
If you think you can handle this!
Dangerous after dark!
No apologies
For who I am!
I work too hard
To spend my whole damn life
Being somebody else's good girl plan!
Daylight gets my discipline.
Midnight gets my heart.
And if you're looking
For a little trouble tonight—
Baby...
You found her.
DANGEROUS AFTER DARK!
Post-Chorus
[Heavy guitar hits between lines]
After dark!
That's when I come alive.
After dark!
That's when I quit being nice.
After dark!
Better know what you're starting—
'Cause this woman gets...
DANGEROUS AFTER DARK!
Outro
[Dirty guitar riff fading]
Sun comes up?
I'll behave.
...
Probably.
