Velvet
Louis York Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not often that I lose my cool
Keeping my composure
That's my number one rule
But I got a message today
Saying baby baby
I miss you
Attached with a picture
A nude.
The next thing you said was

Baby tonight I want you to take me out
Take me out I long for the city
And your lips were red
And your hair was down
You're so fucking pretty
(Yeah)

And all I'm thinking
Is the touch of your skin
Must feel like velvet
I'm caving in
I don't mean to sin
But I just can't help it

I wanna know how it feels
Oh I wanna know how it feels
Oh I wanna know how it feels
Oh I wanna know how it feels
Oh I
Does it feel like velvet?

Let me light up one more before I go
Cause you know I got to get in my zone
So when I show up and I'm knocking at your door
Don't be shocked
You know what the fuck I came here for

Baby tonight I am planning to take you out
(Take you)
Take you out, you long for the city
And your lips were red
(So red)
And your hair was down
You're so fucking pretty
(Ooh)
And all I'm thinking is
The touch of your skin
Must feel like velvet
Yeah I am caving in
I don't mean to sin
But I just can't help it

I wanna know how it feels
Oh I wanna know how it feels
Oh I wanna know how it feels
Oh I
Does it feel like velvet?
I wanna know how it feels
Oh I wanna know how it feels
Oh I gotta know how it feels
Does it feel like velvet?

Is it soft and smooth?
Mysterious and rude?
When I get close to it
Does it feel like velvet?
Baby tell me

Is it soft and smooth
Mysterious and rude
When I get close to it
Does it feel like velvet?
Baby tell me

Is it soft and smooth
Mysterious and rude
When I get close to it
Does it feel like velvet?
Baby tell me

Is it soft and smooth
Mysterious and rude
When I get close to it
Does it feel like velvet?
Baby tell me

I wanna know
I wanna know




Does it feel like velvet?
Baby tell me
