BbWhere the biggest atCtraction
Is Gplaying dangerous games
BbPlaying dangerous games
CPlaying
Started out in Vallarta
On just a innocent fling
She took it back to Newport Beach
And turned it into a diamond ring
But one thing led to another
She got caught up in a tide
She was the queen of the social scene
With all the jokers by her side
Chorus + Intro
A South American sailor
Who wore the naval tattoo
Took her so much higher than
Any man she ever knew
In all the capital cities
He's known by numerous names
When the heat came down on the underground
His name was already changed
Chorus
In the festival season
Right in the middle of town
Man was there with an icy stare
To make sure that the deal went down
And just as quick as it started
It was over and done
The icy stare turned into a flare
On the fire of his gun
Chorus and end w\ intro
