Dangerous Lyrics
The things you do
Aren't good for my health
The moves you make
You make for yourself
The means you use
Aren't meant to confuse
Although they do
They're the ones that I would choose
And I wouldn't want it any other way
You wouldn't let me anyway
Dangerous
The way you leave me wanting more
Dangerous
That's what I want you for
Dangerous
When I am in your arms
Dangerous
Know I will come to harm
The lies you tell
Aren't meant to deceive
They're not there
For me to believe
I've heard
Your vicious words
You know by now
It takes a lot to see me hurt
And I couldn't take it any other way
But there's a price I have to pay

Love the song. I think it's about being in an abusive relationship, but almost enjoying it. The person just keeps bringing you down, but it's like a breath of fresh air. Even knowing that it's going to hurt you, you go on with it.
It' about being in a harmful relationship. But, as he's smitten with her, even though he knows he shouldn't be with her, he's so drawn to her that he won't dare leave. If anything, her callous, devious ways make him want her even more.
He is claerly a cheater, who is falling in love with his misstress. He knows he can´t have her, but wants her anyway. He knows that their love is impossible, and must end some day, and when the day comes, he will get hurt, but his feelings for her, are to powerfull to stop in time. Very powerfull song, hope he gets her some day.
I think it's about two people who are having an affair for different reasons and with different motives. The cheater always longing for something better, is completely driven by his immediate emotions, and is hunting the short moments in life, where everything makes sense. He has the wrong eyes on the wrong prize.

The mistress sees what he is doing, and understands him and his motives, but she just can’t help falling in love with him anyway. She knows that whatever short moments of true happiness they share, and whatever love they think they feel, could never be converted to...

It was just a dreaming.
I share and understand your point of view, FreudianSkank, it sound very professional. I personally think that he are so lost in the mistress, that he is ready to do everything, just to have her, maby even for live, hopeing that she will one day realize, that she have moore too gain, than loose, and that live is short, and before you know it, its over. So if you get a shot at what you think is real love, grab the chance.

i think song is incredibly sexy. ironically, it describes a person who is aware of the damaging dynamics of a relationship with this person who is Dangerous. the speaker knows very well that this is not a good thing for him, but he cannot help himself to want more and more... entirely at his expense.
it is certainly a sucky situation, but i love this song for it's ability to describe that crazy love/addiction to someone that leads a person to make bad choices for themselves, while draped in incredibly hot sounds and tone. so often, it's that risky arousal that drives us to this level of passionate self-desctruction.
To me it sounds very much like so many of Martin's songs: "Cruel Mistress" and submissive male and how they play during their games.... call it a subtle, more romantic version of Dressed in Black...
She does what she wants and he wants it that way, she says painful things he knows aren't true and don't truly hurt him and he likes it, and he has to experience craving her/those tomes times between when they play as "the price (he has) to pay".
