Lyrics
Sandra, I remember the lines on your face
Sandra, I remember you moved with such grace
You stuck around for a long, long. time
Coulda stuck around for more
And we sure spent a lot of time
Way down in the danger zone
Sandra, I remember the nights that we met
Sandra, I remember I snuck to your bed
I prowled around for a long long time
Baby oh the lights came on
And when I looked up to see what was there
Your daddy he came out with his gun
( Repeat 1st verse)
