John Mellencamp - Danger List Lyrics






Office girls, they pass me by.
They don't know my name.
Put me on the danger list,
Just too wild to tame.

Take the drinks off of the table.
Throw my guitar out the door.
Set my sights on some new sunrise.
Help my feet to the floor.

[Chorus:]
I ain't lookin' for affection.
I guess I need myself a shove.
Give me someone I can look up to.
Show me someone I can love.

Good boys go to heaven,
Good girls say their prayers.
Me, I don't say anything at all.
I hope the Big Man still cares.

Touch my soul with your religion.
Cut my throat with your spite.
Hurt me with your silence, girl.
Stay with me, stay with me, stay with
Me tonight.

[Chorus:]
I ain't lookin' for affection.
I guess I need myself a shove.
Give me someone I can look up to.
Show me someone I can love.

Don't go starin' at me.
Makes me feel so insecure.
Talk behind my back if you want to.
I don't hear no more.

Take me to my destination.
Put me on the plane.
Fly me up to heaven, dear Lord.
Take me home again.

[Chorus:]
I ain't lookin' for affection.
I guess I need myself a shove.
Give me someone I can look up to.
Show me someone I can love.

  1. L.... A....

    This is an amazing tune. And it's so damn good that you have to ✋ stop what you're doing on your computer or cell phone, turn up the volume and lip sync so hard that you definitely look ridiculous but you don't give a shit because you are wrapped up in the feeling of this song and this! song! Is all that matters right now.

  2. R.... L....

    Written about the lifestyle I lived on my 73 sportster living out Easy Rider 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠

  9. D.... S....

    From what Mellencamp said at the time that the record company almost didn't release this album and thought about dropping him in 1982. He said they thought it was trash. He talk them into going ahead and releasing it. If it wasn't released we never would have heard of John Mellencamp. The one the best albums of the 80's.

  64. m.... T....

    Quello, che non sopporto sono quelle persone che non anno mai sentito, e ne conosciuto, un artista, che dagli anni 70 ad oggi, con una carriera di una vita, sentono una canzone,e la giudicano per quello che è senza saperne,il significato. JOHN COUGAR -MELLENCAMP, questo non lo sopporterebbe. A me piace da morire. sin da quando ero ragazzetto, avevo già i suoi primi album. non scrivo più perche mi ci vuole tutto lo spazio, della bacheca.

  65. B.... S....

    JM is a True legend,makes me feel good.........How's the lead break 3:22......goosebumps

  66. J.... T....

    i lived in indiana back in the 80's... john "couger" is in my blood man!!!

  67. T.... ....

    Forgot about this song. I use to have this album on vinyal and decided to look it up. Really nice to hear it again.

  68. m.... ....

    Fine tune, thanks for putting this on.

  69. d.... r....

    this song is awesome finding this song on the album was so awesome you really heard it n the radio why who knows this is such a song of love mshiho

  70. T.... L....

    wonderfull

  71. M.... P....

    Thank you. This song has been running through my mind the better part of 2 weeks now. John was always my favorite artist wile I grew up in the 1980's.

  72. t.... ....

    I like many of the 70s and 80s like Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, hairbands of all kinds, Springsteen, but Mellencamp is my favorite. Not too many people I know know this song just because it never seemed to be a big hit. Nonetheless, a great song. Its one of my favorites, but then again I have many, and whats amazing, is some of the songs I like best are the songs no one knows of.

  73. c.... ....

    Hi rockcougar69... well done!! We should try and do something to convince John to cross the ocean and make a "once in a living" concert in Europe. Any ideas???? C'mon!!

  74. T.... L....

    tres tres bon merci thank you

  75. m.... ....

    Very nice guitar break in this too.

  76. h.... ....

    Probably his best song. Definitely the best song off of this record. Thanks for posting.

  77. r.... ....

    grande John Mellencamp !!!! Ho visto molti concerti nella mia vita ma mi manca il grande Cougar !!!! Peccato che non sei mai venuto in Italia (per suonare)
