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 thought I truly knew you, how wrong can I 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 learned 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 and the fire still burns
And the mind is strong but the heart it yearns
The pain was gone, but has 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 leant over the bed and kissed my forehead
He brushed the hair from my eyes and began to slide

Slide his hand down underneath the sheet
Until he reached my waist, o he didn't waist no time
He put his hand on my thigh
He put his thoughts in my mind
I began to drown in his eyes
And we began to slide
And then he whispered soft
Like the sea in a shell
Yeah I've been away
Where I've been I can't tell
But I've got something for you
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
You don't really love me
I know you say you do
But you don't 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
Shingin like a ring
With a hidden curse
Saying the same thing
Just in different words
I want you back
Velveteen
I want you back
Velveteen

Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen, Velveteen

Velveteen, I'm here for you
Velveteen, always yours, you will be mine
Velveteen
