Tell it to me slowly [Verse 1] [Female Vocal: soft, cool, seductive] You wear the night like tailored black A little truth, a little act I read the silence on your face Then look away with practiced grace The room is gold, the lights are low Your fingers move, but still move slow I know the game, I know the price Still I lean into the lie [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal: breathy, slow build] Do not make it honest Do not make it clean I want something dangerous Quiet in between [Chorus] [Female Vocal: smooth, sensual, elegant] Blue velvet lie, cover me Soft enough to make me weak Say the words you do not mean Let them sound like poetry Blue velvet lie, stay tonight Hide me from the morning light If it breaks when we define Then keep it beautiful tonight [Verse 2] [Female Vocal: smoky, intimate] A silver moon behind the glass Turns every second into past You smile like you have nothing to lose I smile like I believe in you There is a bruise beneath the glow A part of me you almost know If you touch it, do it right Do not wake the wound tonight [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal: fragile, seductive] Do not call it lonely Do not call it need Just breathe a little closer And let the silence bleed [Chorus] [Female Vocal: smooth, sensual, elegant] Blue velvet lie, cover me Soft enough to make me weak Say the words you do not mean Let them sound like poetry Blue velvet lie, stay tonight Hide me from the morning light If it breaks when we define Then keep it beautiful tonight [Bridge] [Female Vocal: whispered, vulnerable] Maybe I know Maybe I do not care Maybe the sweetest thing Is something barely there [Final Chorus] [Female Vocal: emotional but restrained, silky high notes] Blue velvet lie, cover me Hold the dark against my cheek Say the words you do not mean Make them feel like destiny Blue velvet lie, stay tonight Leave your shadow in my light If it breaks when we define Then keep it beautiful tonight [Outro] [Female Vocal: fading whisper] Blue velvet lie... Tell it to me slowly
