Oh there's a stranger
Standing in the shadows of love
Oh the danger
Demands what you're needing of

Be careful what you love
Be careful what you need
Be careful what you say
Be careful who you please, careful who
you please

Love, love, love
Love is dangerous
Love...
Love is dangerous

Oh there's no warning
That takes you to the promised land
Hearts made of crystal
Crumble like castles of sand

Echoes of emotion
And the visions of a fool
Echoes of forbidden ground
And it's too good to be true, too good
to be true

Love, love, love
Love is dangerous
Love...
Love is dangerous

Standing at the crossroads
Ooh yeah this is wild
Maybe it's my crossroads
Maybe this is mine
Maybe this is mine, oooh

Love, love, love
Love is dangerous
Love...
Love is dangerous
Don't be a fool

Love, love, love
Love is dangerous
Love...
Love is dangerous

Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its eponymous drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Despite band founder Peter Green naming the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House. more »
