High Hopes in Velvet Ropes
[Verse 1]
And baby, take it off, checkered thighs on a pretty pawn
This vicious velvet ain't enough
So baby, make a move, my neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language tastes of lust
Tell me what can I say (What can I say, what can I say?)
To make your body come this way? (Won't you come this way?)
We're only two in a crowded room (A crowded room)
(A crowded room) Where others fade away (Others fade away)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's only a crime if I get caught
Only if I, if I get caught
It's only a line if it gets bought
[Verse 2]
I woke up at 12:05, I left that room with no goodbye
And now I'm on my way back home (That's why I'm telling you)
It's not that your lipstick failed, but girl, I was just born to bail
I do it better on my own
Tell me what can I say (What can I say, what can I say?)
To make your body come this way? (Won't you come this way?)
We're only two in a crowded room (A crowded room)
(A crowded room) Where others fade away (Others fade away)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's only a crime if I get caught
Only if I, if I get caught
It's only a line if it gets bought
[Chorus]
It's the same game, I play 'til the give
Becomes the take (What can I say, what can I say?)
It's the same game, I play 'til the bend
The bend becomes the break
[Bridge]
Baby, take it off, (whoa) checkered thighs on a pretty pawn (whoa)
This vicious velvet ain't enough (whoa)
So baby, make a move, my neon eyes are set on you
The devil's language tastes of lust
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
It's only a line if it gets bought
[Chorus]
It's the same game, I play 'til the give
Becomes the take (What can I say, what can I say?)
It's the same game, I play 'til the give
Becomes the take (Won't you come this way?)
[Outro]
(I woke up at 12:05, I left that room with no goodbye)
It's the same game, I play 'til the give
(And now I'm on my way back home)
Becomes the take (What can I say, what can I say?)
(It's not that your lipstick failed, but girl, I was just born to bail)
It's the same game, I play 'til the bend
(I do it better...)
The bend becomes the break
