This early song of mine was performed during a show at Dallas' Pocket Sandwich Theatre in June of 1994. The headliners were Howard and the Fine Sisters, led by Royce Cooper. This trio was another of Royce's girl groups, The Pin-Ups.

The lyrics to DANGEROUS-LOOKING BOYS:
How I remember our first night together.
I didn't know his name.
He wore a jacket of shiny black leather.
I didn't know his game.
But I remembered what Mama would say to me
When I was young and beginning to stray.
She'd say, "The dangerous-looking boys that you see
Will take all your love and then throw you away.
"Girls are just the toys of dangerous-looking boys.
Girls are just the toys of dangerous-looking boys."
How could I know that my heart was in danger?
I needed love so much.
I put my heart in the hands of a stranger.
Oh, what a loving touch.
And I'd remember what Mama would say to me
When I would cry in my room all alone.
She'd say, "There's decent respectable boys to see,
So try to be patient and wait by the phone.
"Girls are just the toys of dangerous-looking boys.
Girls are just the toys of dangerous-looking boys."
But, no matter what, I fell in love and was glad.
I knew that he wasn't bad.
He was the lover I'd never had.
Then I saw it end, I saw him turning away
In just a week and a day,
And now to Mama what would I say?
Oh, what a sorry and sad situation.
I think you'd all agree.
And now I'm stuck with a bad reputation,
No one will talk to me
Except for Mama who just says, "Very smart!
That's what you get when you think it's okay
To trust a dangerous-looking boy with your heart.
Listen to me, girl, whenever I say...
"Girls are just the toys of dangerous-looking boys.
Girls are just the toys of dangerous-looking boys."
