[Verse 1]
In your high school photo
You looked so young and naive
Now I heard you got a nickname
The lady of the leash
Well I find you on a midnight shift
I bet you had your fair share of stiffs
There were onerous odors
I've got to admit

[Chorus]
Because you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
So painfully plain to us
You're doing your duty

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
Who you got there in that hood, you look so fancy in those photographs
With your rubber gloves on you're a favourite with the Chiefs of Staff
You're doing such a wonderful job
You're a natural at working with dogs
Keeping everyone awake at night
With a touch of the prods

[Chorus]
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
Yeah, disdainfully, painfully
A bit of booty, yeah

[Chorus]
You're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
Beauty

[Chorus]
Well you're a dangerous, dangerous
A dangerous beauty
If I was your captain
I'd put you soon to bed
What I say
Yeah everybody
Beauty

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Everybody now, yeah
Are you all tied up, put in a box
Yeah, dangerous
Giving them electric shocks
I've seen the gloves coming off
Dangerous
If looks could be killing, I bet you shoot me now

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
