"Love Is Dangerous" is a single released in 1990 by British-American band Fleetwood Mac from their album Behind the Mask. The single failed to chart on the US Hot 100, but reached number 7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and number 70 in Canada.

Critical reception

Writing for the Los Angeles Times, Steve Hochman thought that the song "injected the band's original blues foundation".[3] Rolling Stone characterized the song as a "funky romp that keeps the imagery to a bare minimum."[4]
