Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, you drive me crazy
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
You sure got a lot of nerve
The way you take your sweet time
All around me like your work of art
Who said you know me so good?
[Verse 3]
You're a dangerous angel
Should have seen right from the start
Still I'd never change you
Anyway
[Verse 4]
You've got me  dancin' on the smooth edge
You've got me dancin' on the smooth edge
Hearts on fire, filled with desire
And I'm waiting for the words you say
On the smooth edge (On the smooth edge)
On the smooth edge (On the smooth edge)
[Verse 5]
So funny how the night just slips on by
In a long slow dance with you (Slow dance with you)
Crazy how you keep on leading me, boy
To a place beyond taboo (Ooh)
[Verse 6]
You're a cool persuader (Cool persuader)
Hey, don't you, don't you, don't you have no shame? (Shame)
Still I'm gonna take you
Anyway
[Verse 7]
You've got me dancin' on the smooth edge
You've got me dancin' on the smooth edge
Hearts on fire, filled with desire
And I'm reaching for your every move
Dancin' on the smooth edge (On the smooth edge)
On the smooth edge (On the smooth edge)
Smooth edge, smooth edge
Ooh (Ooh, you're an angel) You're an angel
Yes, you are (Ooh, you're an angel)
[Verse 8]
You've got me dancin' on the smooth edge, mmm, boy
You've got me dancin' on the smooth edge
Hearts on fire, filled with desire
And I'm deeper, deeper in love with you
Dancin' on the smooth edge (On the smooth edge)
On the smooth edge (On the smooth edge)
Smooth edge, smooth edge
[Verse 9]
Dancin' on the smooth edge (I wanna, I wanna dance with you)
Dancin' on the smooth edge (Dancin', dancin' with you)
Dancin' on the smooth edge (Ooh, oh, you)
Dancin' on the smooth edge (You)
Dancin' on the smooth edge (Ooh, when I'm with you, baby)
Dancin' on the smooth edge (I wanna, I wanna dance with you, boy)
Dancin' on the smooth edge
(You know, you know, you know I wanna dance with you)
Dancin' on the smooth edge
(Hey, hey, I wanna know and dance with you, you know I do)
Dancin' on the smooth edge
(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, ooh, oh)
Dancin' on the smooth edge
(Yeah, hey, I wanna dance with you, oh, yeah, you, you)
