Velvet
c.alma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it was more like a palace
Silk, satin, leather and lace
Las Vegas with a dollop of Dallas
Champagne, Cocaine,
They didn't have a thing on this
Something so special drivin' me insane
She had a soft brown velvet pillow box
One like I ain't never seen
Nightgown. Knee socks.
And nothin' in between
She lay me down by the fire
On a giant bearskin rug
Eyes filled with pure desire
Heart filled with a lustful love
Fine Wine, Moonshine
They didn't have a thing on this
A taste that clearly nearly blew my mind
And all it took was just a little kiss
She had a soft brown velvet pillow box
One like I ain't never seen
Nightgown. Knee socks.
And nothin' in between
When I awoke next mornin'
I wondered if it was all a dream
Never felt this good before
Don't know if I ever will again
Kind bud, Mexican Mud
They didn't have a thing on this
A kind of high that really warmed my blood
Another taste is what I can't resist
She had a soft brown velvet pillow box
One like I ain't never seen
Nightgown. Knee socks.
And nothin' in between
She had a soft brown velvet pillow box
One like I ain't never seen
Nightgown. Knee socks.
And nothin' in between

She took me back to her place
She brought me to her luxurious home
And it was more like a palace
Her home was extravagant and grand
Silk, satin, leather and lace
Her decor was a mix of elegant and edgy materials
Las Vegas with a dollop of Dallas
Her home was a combination of flashy and country styles
Champagne, Cocaine,
Drinks and drugs were not as good as what she had to offer
They didn't have a thing on this
Her offerings were superior to anything else
Something so special drivin' me insane
Her exceptional offerings were making me lose my mind
A precious treasure overflowing with bliss
She was a valuable and delightful discovery
She had a soft brown velvet pillow box
She owned a unique and beautiful container for her belongings
One like I ain't never seen
I had never seen anything like it before
Nightgown. Knee socks.
Her clothing attire was comfortable and casual
And nothin' in between
She was wearing nothing else
She lay me down by the fire
She positioned me by the fireplace
On a giant bearskin rug
The bear rug I laid on was huge and impressive
Eyes filled with pure desire
She looked at me with a strong longing
Heart filled with a lustful love
She had a passionate and intense love for me
Fine Wine, Moonshine
Alcoholic beverages were not as good as what she had to offer
A taste that clearly nearly blew my mind
Her offerings were so exceptional, they were almost overwhelming
And all it took was just a little kiss
Her offerings were simple, but they provided immense pleasure
When I awoke next mornin'
The next morning, when I woke up
I wondered if it was all a dream
I questioned whether what happened was real or not
Never felt this good before
I had never experienced such pleasure before
Don't know if I ever will again
I am uncertain whether I will ever experience such pleasure again
Kind bud, Mexican Mud
Drugs were not as good as what she had to offer
A kind of high that really warmed my blood
Her offerings were intoxicating and stimulating
Another taste is what I can't resist
I am unable to resist experiencing her offerings again
She had a soft brown velvet pillow box
She still owned the unique and beautiful container for her belongings
One like I ain't never seen
I had never seen anything like it before
Nightgown. Knee socks.
She still wore comfortable and casual clothing attire
And nothin' in between
She still wore nothing else
