[Verse 1]
I don't know if it's in my mind
Watching all the shadows behind me
'Cause I could get hurt, or maybe this time
The cloud has got a silver lining
And if I'm scared I got a right to be
I know you could wound me critically

[Chorus]
These are dangerous times and if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?
If I give myself up to these circumstances
In these dangerous times would you keep me safely?

[Verse 2]
Over the hill there's an army of fools
Waiting for their hearts to be broken
How do I know if I'm gonna explode
When I come out in the open?
'Cause even lovers can turn into enemies
I don't wanna be a casualty

[Chorus]
These are dangerous times and if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?
If I give myself up to these circumstances
In these dangerous times would you keep me
Would you keep me
[Bridge]
Baby, would you keep me safely tonight?
(Baby, would you keep me safely)
Can I trust you with all of my affection?
Can I trust you to be on my side (Be on my side)
In these dangerous times?

[Chorus]
These are dangerous times and if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?
If I give myself up to these circumstances
In these dangerous times would you keep me safely?
These are dangerous times and if I take some chances
Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?
If I give myself up to these circumstances
In these dangerous times would you keep me (Safely)
Would you keep me

[Outro]
Oh, baby, would you keep me safely tonight?
(Put my heart on the line, what would you do to me?)
These are dangerous times, what would you do to me?
