I thought I had a heart that could never be tamed A little bit of love is a dangerous thing But one small kiss can go a long long way You gotta be careful when you play this game A little bit of love is a dangerous thing
We made wild promises in the dark Then we filled up the tank at the quickle mart Now you can call us crazy or call it fate We were headed for Vegas on the interstate We just couldn't wait Found a little chapel called the Burnin' Love Somethin' bout that girl had me all shook up
