Velvet
Fergie(퍼기) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's cold outside
Why don't you come in?
I know my walls are crumbling
It's late at night
And lately I've been alone
But that could be changing

What you do to me
Conjures up feelings I've never felt before
And your company I adore
So deliciously
Gold and burgundy sink into me; I feel so warm

[Chorus:]
I feel you
I taste you
The smoothest wine
Like velvet
Can't help it
This love's divine
(I'm ready to feel you)

(I'm ready)
(You don't even know how ready I am)
(I'm feelin' you)
(It's nice)

The moon is full
The stars are aligned
I know; just look into my eyes
It's beautiful
Your skin against mine
I hope you let your mind take flight

Under velvet skies
Lover, we can fly away from the world
Let all of our love unfurl
What a gorgeous ride
You don't have to hide a thing from me
I am your girl

[Chorus]

I'm ready to feel you
Slowly we escape
Our time we can take
We can take, we can take
I'm ready to feel you, feel you
Feel you, feel you, feel you, feel

I feel you (ready to feel you)
I taste you (feel you)
The smoothest wine (mmm)
Like velvet
Can't help it (so smooth, so smooth)
This love's divine (I'm ready to feel you, ready to feel you)

I feel you (you)
I taste you (you, you, you, you)
The smoothest wine (so smooth)
Like velvet
Can't help it




This love's divine
(It's so divine, it's so divine, I just can't help myself)
