Dangerous

Lyrics

• The Way She Came Into The Place
• I Knew Right Then And There
• There Was Something Different
• About This Girl
• The Way She Moved
• Her Hair, Her Face, Her Lines
• Divinity In Motion
• As She Stalked The Room
• I Could Feel The Aura
• Of Her Presence
• Every Head Turned
• Feeling Passion And Lust
• The Girl Was Persuasive
• The Girl I Could Not Trust
• The Girl Was Bad
• The Girl Was Dangerous
• I Never Knew But I Was
• Walking The Line
• Come Go With Me
• I Said I Have No Time
• And Don't You Pretend We Didn't
• Talk On The Phone
• My Baby Cried
• She Left Me Standing Alone
• She's So Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• Take Away My Money
• Throw Away My Time
• You Can Call Me Honey
• But You're No Damn Good For Me
• She Came At Me In Sections
• With The Eyes Of Desire
• I Fell Trapped Into Her
• Web Of Sin
• A Touch, A Kiss
• A Whisper Of Love
• I Was At The Point
• Of No Return
• Deep In The Darkness Of
• Passion's Insanity
• I Felt Taken By Lust's
• Strange Inhumanity
• This Girl Was Persuasive
• This Girl I Could Not Trust
• The Girl Was Bad
• The Girl Was Dangerous
• I Never Knew
• But I Was Living In Vain
• She Called My House
• She Said You Know My Name
• And Don't You Pretend
• You Never Did Me Before
• With Tears In Her Eyes
• My Baby Walked Out The Door
• She's So Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• Take Away My Money
• Throw Away My Time
• You Can Call Me Honey
• But You're No Damn Good For Me
• Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• I Have To Pray To God
• 'Cause I Know How
• Lust Can Blind
• It's A Passion In My Soul
• But You're No Damn Lover
• Friend Of Mine
• I Can not Sleep Alone Tonight
• My Baby Left Me Here Tonight
• I Cannot Cope 'Til It's All Right
• You And Your Manipulation
• You Hurt My Baby
• And Then It Happened
• She Touched Me
• For The Lips Of
• A Strange Woman
• Drop As A Honeycomb
• And Her Mouth Was
• Smoother Than Oil
• But Her Inner Spirit And Words
• Were As Sharp As
• A Two-Edged Sword
• But I Loved It
• 'Cause It's Dangerous
• Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• Take Away My Money
• Throw Away My Time
• You Can Call Me Honey
• But You're No Damn Good For Me
• Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• Take Away My Money
• Throw Away My Time
• You Can Call Me Honey
• But You're No Damn Good For Me
• Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• Take Away My Money
• Throw Away My Time
• You Can Call Me Honey
• But You're No Damn Good For Me
• Dangerous
• The Girl Is So Dangerous
• I Have To Pray To God
• 'Cause I Know How
• Lust Can Blind
• It's A Passion In My Soul
• But You're No Damn Lover
• Friend Of Mine
• [Ad Libs Out]

Live Performances

The first live performance of the song was during the final leg of Jackson's Dangerous World Tour. This version included him singing the second verse, the bridge, and the third speaking interlude. The song was performed in the same style at the 1993 American Music Awards. The second version of the song was performed as a regular during the HIStory World Tour and at the 1995 MTV Music Awards. This version does not contain the second verse, bridge, or third speaking interlude, but instead has samples from Yes' "Owner of a Lonely Heart", "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly", "Smooth Criminal", Janet Jackson's "You Want This" and "Let's Dance", Monty Norman's "James Bond Theme", Judy Garland's "Get Happy", and Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill".

The song was later used during the Michael Jackson and Friends concerts with an interlude where the dancers introduce themselves. It was last performed at the American Bandstand 50th Anniversary Special and at President Bill Clinton's gala in 2002.

This Is It

Before Jackson's death, the song was to be a part of his sold-out This Is It tour. Audio of the intro was released in 2010, which featured samples of "Morphine", "2000 Watts", and "This Place Hotel". The This Is It dancers performed a snippet of the song at the 2011 Carnival Dance Showcase, with the performance featuring snippets of "Smooth Criminal", "Stranger in Moscow", and the Psycho theme.
