Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Danger in the shape of something wild
Stranger dressed in black, she's a hungry child
No one knows who she is or what her name is
I don't know where she came from or what her game is
[Verse 2]
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty
Hot child in the city
[Verse 3]
So young to be loose and on her own
Young boys, they all want to take her home
When she goes downtown the boys all stop and stare
When she goes downtown, she walks like she just don't care, yeah
[Verse 4]
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty, yeah
Hot child in the city
[Verse 5]
Come on down to my place, baby
We'll talk about love
Come on down to my place, woman
We'll make love
[Verse 6]
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
She's kind of dangerous
Hot child in the city
Young child
Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty
Young child, runnin' wild
[Verse 7]
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Hot child in the city
Oh
[Verse 8]
Hot child
