From a distance I could see you shine
When diamonds get too deep they get hard to mine
Yours the face that always has the charm
Look out for eyes like mine they’ll do you harm
My velveteen my velveteen
You come on so smooth now you’ve lost that sheen
When velveteen spoke there was no compromise
And when velveteen joked he’d kiss you with his eyes
Now the climate changes for the worse
I think, it’s time right now your bubble burst
With every sentence that you cast astray
I hear those empty vessels call from miles away
My velveteen my velveteen
You come on so smooth now you’ve lost that sheen
When velveteen spoke I could not sympathise
To those velvet tones and velvet lies
For every sentence that you cast away
I hear those empty vessels from miles away
When velveteen spoke there was no compromise
And when velveteen joked he’d kiss you with his eyes
