[Verse 1] I was rough and tumble, didn’t even spare a glance You were standing in that sundress, I never had a chance Then you said, “Mister, I seem to have lost my way Maybe you could help me,” that’s all you had to say The summer air got heavy, every breath a spark I felt my heartbeat stumble, reaching through the dark [Chorus] She was soft as velvet, he was dirty as rust That chemical attraction felt just like lust Ohhh, Velvet Rust, when opposites attract Ohhh, Velvet Rust, there ain’t no turning back [Verse 2] Then your eyes started to twinkle, we were locked in a stare I felt the sky turn electric, lightning everywhere You traced a line on my shoulder, slow across my skin Every tiny little gesture pulling me deeper in You whispered close to my ear, voice a honeyed flame Said, “I don’t even know you, but I already know your name” [Chorus] She was soft as velvet, he was dirty as rust That chemical attraction felt just like lust Ohhh, Velvet Rust, when opposites attract Ohhh, Velvet Rust, there ain’t no turning back [Bridge] Velvet on my fingers, rust under my nails Two different worlds riding the same rails You tasted like danger, I tasted like sin But something in the middle kept pulling us in [Chorus] She was soft as velvet, he was dirty as rust That chemical attraction felt just like lust Ohhh, Velvet Rust, when opposites attract Ohhh, Velvet Rust, there ain’t no turning back [Outro] Ohhh, Velvet Rust, caught up in that stare Ohhh, Velvet Rust, lightning everywhere She was soft as velvet, he was dirty as rust Two strangers in the fire, burning up with lust
