Black Velvet
Scarlet Parke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a black velvet kind of night
This shit happens all the time
What's your name again
Are you my friend
I don't know where this all all began
I just wanna know
Can you can you
Can you take me home home home

Take me home home home
Yeah
It's been another lonely weekend
Oh we're all just trying to get it in
Get it in
I don't wanna know what you're doing tomorrow
I just, I wanna know
Can you can you
Can you take me home home home
Take me home home home
Oh
Let's walk the ave
Let's get real bad
Let's forget everything we've ever had
Before tonight
You are mine, I'm your stranger
Tonight, you are mine, I'm your danger
Take me home home home
Take me home home home
Home
Take me home

Take me home
Home home
