Danger, there's a breakdown dead ahead 
Then just maybe you're in way above your head 
I may burn, might upset you 
But you know I'd never let you down 
No, no, no 

Danger, there's a breakdown dead ahead 
And just maybe you're in way above your head 
I may burn, might upset you 
But you know I'd never let you down, down, down, down 
No, no, no, no
