Soft touch
Sharp teeth
You should know better
But you won't

I walk into the room and the temperature changes
Black silk on my body, perfume on the danger
You look at me like you've already lost
Like you knew from the beginning what this would cost

I don't promise forever
I don't promise tonight
I just lean a little closer
And let you lose your mind

You can call me trouble
You can call me your mistake
But you keep coming closer
Like a heart that wants to break

I'm sweet until you taste me
I'm heaven until I bite
You say you want salvation
But you're staring at the knife

I'm your velvet venom
Soft against your skin
Sweet enough to make you want me
Dangerous enough to pull you in

Velvet venom
Kiss me if you dare
I'll leave a little poison
Hanging in the air

You can run
You can hide
But you'll think about me every night

I'm your velvet venom
Beautiful and lethal
Wrapped in black and dressed like evil

Velvet, velvet, venom
Sweet little catastrophe
Velvet, velvet, venom
You know you want a taste of me

I know exactly where your weakness lives
I know the kind of love your body misses
I can read every secret in your eyes
You don't have to lie when you're this close tonight

I've got diamonds on my fingers
But your attention's what I want
I don't need another lover
If you're already obsessed

And I don't need your worship
I don't need you on your knees
I just want you to remember
What it felt like wanting me

I'm sweet until you taste me
I'm heaven until I bite
You say you want salvation
But you're staring at the knife

I'm your velvet venom
Soft against your skin
Sweet enough to make you want me
Dangerous enough to pull you in

Velvet venom
Kiss me if you dare
I'll leave a little poison
Hanging in the air

You can run
You can hide
But you'll think about me every night

I'm your velvet venom
Beautiful and lethal
Wrapped in black and dressed like evil

Don't call me innocent
You know what you're doing
You came for the danger
And now you're addicted to the ruin

Maybe I'm the lesson
You were never meant to learn
Maybe I'm the cigarette
You know will make you burn

But you light me anyway
You light me anyway

Slow hands
Dark room
One kiss
Bad news

Your pulse
My lips
One look
That's it
You wanted heaven
I gave you heat

I'm your velvet venom
Soft against your skin
Sweet enough to make you want me
Dangerous enough to pull you in

Velvet venom
Kiss me if you dare
I'll leave a little poison
Hanging in the air

You can run
You can hide
But you'll think about me every night

I'm your velvet venom
Beautiful and lethal
Wrapped in black and dressed like evil

Velvet, velvet, venom
Sweet little catastrophe
Velvet, velvet, venom
You know you want a taste of me

Soft touch
Sharp teeth
You knew better
You just didn't want better
Velvet venom
