[Verse 1]
You wear that smile like silk
Then cut straight through my will
One touch and I forget
What I said I wanted
You know the door I leave
You know I come back fast
Cheap thrills in a gold room
And I still ask for more
[Pre-Chorus]
I say stop, then stay
You pull, I fold
My good sense slips
When you get that hold
One look from you
And I’m in too deep
I hate how sweet
You make it seem
[Chorus]
Velvet alibi
You make me bend
Velvet alibi
I let you win
One taste, one lie
I’m back again
Velvet alibi
Say my name
(velvet alibi)
(velvet alibi)
[Verse 2]
Late with the fancy talk
Cold ring, warm hands
You make a crime scene
Out of my plans
I know your love is a game
I know the score
Still I chase the shine
Back to your door
[Pre-Chorus]
I say stop, then stay
You pull, I fold
My good sense slips
When you get that hold
One look from you
And I’m in too deep
I hate how sweet
You make it seem
[Chorus]
Velvet alibi
You make me bend
Velvet alibi
I let you win
One taste, one lie
I’m back again
Velvet alibi
Say my name
(velvet alibi)
(velvet alibi)
[Bridge]
I could walk away
But I like the burn
I call it a warning
You call it return
Soft on the surface
Sharp underneath
I want the trouble
That ruined me
[Final Chorus]
Velvet alibi
You make me bend
Velvet alibi
I let you win
One taste, one lie
I’m back again
Velvet alibi
Say my name
Velvet alibi
Don’t make me choose
Velvet alibi
I’m made for you
(one more time)
(I let you win)
Velvet alibi
Pull me in
