Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

An independent, formidable woman stays ahead of anyone who tries to contain or compete with her. Surfing, racing and confrontation make her speed and confidence tangible, while the narrator's fascination is mixed with fear. His admiration finally becomes a question: will she let him travel beside her without surrendering her freedom?

DANGER GIRL

She's a Danger Girl
She don't take that from anybody
She's on a Rip Curl
She got a tip top hip hop body
She got a red hot drop
Into the Green Room
She'll show you what she's got
Under the Red Blood Moon

She's got everything you want
She's done everything you can’t
She could be on the catwalk
But she won't walk that walk
She's as solid as a rock
Been all the way around the block
Time moves fast, it doesn't stop
She says she doesn't hear the clock

CHORUS:
She's a Danger Girl
She's movin’ way too fast
You try to keep up with her
She'll put you on your ass
She aced her way through college
With her special kind of knowledge
She'll never be your wife
And you just might lose your life

She can look inside of you
She knows why you do what you do
She can tell if you are tried and true
Or just another Midnight Blue
If you think you're tough enough
She can put a man down with a touch
If you should stand up in her way
You'll never see the light of day

She's as hot as she can be
She's got personality
She's as cool as Friday night
On the beach in Oceanside
If you're looking for a fight
You came to the right place
It could maybe take all night
But she'll wipe the smile right off your face

If you should maybe die tonight
You could say you went in style
Stock cars at the traffic light
Run the standing quarter mile
Say goodnight to all the haters
She's handing out their walking papers
Running down the country clubbers
Downtown, they are burning rubber

CHORUS:
She's a Danger Girl
There's something you should know
You think you will catch up to her
But you're movin’ way too slow
Throw your caution to the wind
On the ocean, it begins
The circle turns around again
She says that it will never end

OUTRO
Danger Girl
Tell me what goes on inside you
Oh, my Danger Girl
Will you let me run beside you
Love is like an ocean tide
A world where shadows cannot hide
So, sit right back, enjoy the ride
I'll see you on the other side
