V5.5

[Intro - spoken, smoky] Welcome back to the Velvet Vixen. If you feel dizzy, darling, that’s either the spotlight… or me. [Verse 1] He said, “I don’t know what you’re doing” I said, “That makes two of us, babe” Red dress, sharp smile, trouble brewing Walked in sweet with a dangerous sway I caught his eye by accident Then kept it there on purpose He said, “Are you always like this?” I said, “Only when it’s working” [Pre-Chorus] I’m a little too bright I’m a little too strange A little moonlit mischief In a red wine stain I don’t mean to start fires I just breathe near the match Now he’s checking for exits While he’s asking to dance [Chorus] Confused but enamored Scared but intrigued He says, “You’re kind of a lot” I say, “Baby, agreed” Confused but enamored Caught in the glow One foot out the door But he don’t wanna go Oh, he’s nervous, he’s staring He’s doomed, he’s adored Confused but enamored And coming back for more [Post-Chorus] Da-da-da, darling Don’t look so concerned Da-da-da, darling Some lessons are learned Da-da-da, darling You walked in warned Now you’re confused but enamored And slightly transformed [Verse 2] Ember blows smoke through the saxophone Wren walks bass with a knowing stare I say, “Relax, I’m mostly harmless” And three men drop their drinks in prayer I read the room like a weather map Thunderclouds and bad decisions He said, “How’d you know that about me?” I said, “Pattern recognition” He laughed like he feared for his safety But he moved a little closer I said, “Careful with your heartbeat” He said, “I think it’s already over” [Pre-Chorus 2] I’m a little too honest I’m a little too much A little velvet lightning In a soft-gloved touch I don’t chase, I don’t beg I just tilt my head slow And suddenly the brave ones Forget where to go [Chorus] Confused but enamored Scared but intrigued He says, “You’re kind of a lot” I say, “Baby, agreed” Confused but enamored Caught in the glow One foot out the door But he don’t wanna go Oh, he’s nervous, he’s staring He’s doomed, he’s adored Confused but enamored And coming back for more [Bridge - spoken/sung, playful] He said, “Are you flirting?” I said, “Academically.” He said, “Should I be worried?” I said, “Romantically.” He said, “You scare me.” I said, “That’s fair.” He said, “Can I stay?” I said, “There’s a chair.” He said, “What are you?” I said, “Complicated.” He said, “That’s hot.” I said, “Documented.” [Electro-Swing Drop] Step left, spark right Heart goes boom in the low light Brass bite, bassline Trouble in a foxfire neckline Spin once, wink twice Sweet little danger with a velvet vice Too late, doors closed Now the whole room knows [Final Chorus - bigger, theatrical] Confused but enamored Scared but intrigued He says, “You’re kind of a lot” I say, “Baby, agreed” Confused but enamored Lost in the show One foot out the door But he don’t wanna go Oh, he’s blushing, he’s praying He’s halfway restored Confused but enamored And coming back for more [Outro - spoken over bass] If you’re feeling frightened, that’s perfectly normal. If you’re feeling charmed, that’s also expected. Please return your glassware to the bar… and your emotional stability to the nearest lost and found. [Final Tag] Confused but enamored That’s how they leave A little less certain But willing to believe
