Velveteen

Once I could have held you

And never let you go

Now I see you calling me back

And I really do not know

"Velveteen, I want you back."

Things change and people change

And my mind just gets hazy

I truly thought I knew you

How wrong can you be

"Velveteen, I want you back."

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen

Well it's been a while

And things have been wild

But I've learnt to smile

Yeah now I smile

I can't spend my life

Waiting to get hurt

When you pay the price

You own the dirt

But I still think of you

Yeah I think of you

Think of you

Do you think of me

Think of me

Like I think of you

Well the days go by

And the wheels still turn

When the night comes down

The fire still burns

And the mind is strong

But the heart it yearns

Then the pain was gone

But it's now returned

"Velveteen, I want you back.

Velveteen, I want you back."

It was deep in the night

When he came through my door

He came to my room

At the end of the hall

He lent over the bed

And kissed my forehead

He brushed the hair from my eyes

And then began to slide...

Slide his hand down

Underneath the sheets

'Till he reached my waist

He didn't waste no time

He put his hand on my thigh

He put his thoughts in my mind

And I drowned in his eyes

As we began to slide...

Then he whispered soft

Like the sea in a shell

"Yeah I been away

Where I been I can't tell

But I got something for you

Yeah it's a memory

Hey Velveteen

Do you remember me..."

"Hey yeah I remember

I remember you

Hey yeah I remember

Remember you"

"You know I really want you

Yeah I love you too

You know I really want you

Velveteen."

"But you don't really love me

I know you say you do

But you never really loved me

Loved me true."

"I swear I really love you

I swear I want you too

I swear I really love you

Velveteen."

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen

Now the past is back

Knocking on my door

Breathing passion

Declaring all

Shining like a ring

With a hidden curse

Sayin' the same things

Just in different words

"I want you back."

Velveteen

"I want you back."

Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen

"Velveteen

I'm here for you

Velveteen

Always yours

You will be mine

Until the day..."
