[Verse 1] You walked in slow, silk on your skin That look said trouble, and I let you in Gold on your wrist, scar on your smile You play with my head in a very fine style Your laugh hit hard like a brass-line sting I lost my cool on a two-step swing You said my name like a dare, like a vow I said “don’t start” but I’m starting now [Pre-Chorus] Say less I already know You keep a match I keep the smoke One touch And the room bends low You pull that thread I let it go [Chorus] Velvet backroom Pull me closer Velvet backroom We get bolder Velvet backroom Tell me true Velvet backroom I fall for you [Verse 2] Your words got teeth, but you feed me sweet Cherry-red truth in a midnight beat You read my pulse like a folded note Then you kiss that lie right out my throat We’re too loud for the saints in the hall Too slick for the truth, too high for the fall I’m tryna behave, but you bend my plan Like a sax line curling through a tired old band [Pre-Chorus] Say less I already know You keep a match I keep the smoke One touch And the room bends low You pull that thread I let it go [Chorus] Velvet backroom Pull me closer Velvet backroom We get bolder Velvet backroom Tell me true Velvet backroom I fall for you [Bridge] Strings rise soft like a guilty grin I swear I’m done, then you pull me in No alibi, just that loaded stare One small yes and I’m already there [Chorus] Velvet backroom Pull me closer Velvet backroom We get bolder Velvet backroom Tell me true Velvet backroom I fall for you
