Velvet & Venom

(Intro)

(Slow, deep 808 bass kicks in. Ethereal, moody synths. A female voice whispers)

Yeah... you know I’m no good for you.

(Male vocal ad-lib: Ooh, yeah)

(Verse 1 - Male)

Smoke in the air, but I’m choking on you

Designer sheets, yeah, they’re stained in blue (blue)

I heard the rumors, I know what you do

You love the thrill of breaking something new

You look at me like a target, a game

But I’m already addicted to the pain

(Pre-Chorus - Male)

And I should run, I should walk away

But I’m paralyzed, yeah, I’m gonna stay

(Chorus - Both - Harmonies)

'Cause you’re a dangerous woman, and I’m a broken man

I know I shouldn’t touch you, but I don’t understand

The way you make me feel when you’re cold as ice

I’d sell my soul just to pay the price

Something 'bout you, girl, it’s so insane

Dangerous...

Yeah, you’re my favorite pain.

(Verse 2 - Female)

(Beat gets punchier, sensual)

You like that I’m heartless, you like that I’m cold?

I told you I’m poison, I told you I’m bold

I don’t need permission, I test all your limits

I’ll take your breath in about sixty seconds

You want a savior, but I’m just a thief

I’ll give you a night that brings you to your knees.

(Pre-Chorus - Female)

(Whispered)

You know you love it...

(Chorus - Both - Harmonies)

'Cause you’re a dangerous woman, and I’m a broken man

I know I shouldn’t touch you, but I don’t understand

The way you make me feel when you’re cold as ice

I’d sell my soul just to pay the price

Something 'bout you, girl, it’s so insane

Dangerous...

Yeah, you’re my favorite pain.

(Bridge - Male & Female Alternating)

(Male): I know it’s toxic, I know it’s wrong...

(Female): But I know you’ll stay here all night long...

(Male): I’m addicted to the venom in your kiss...

(Female): There’s no other woman that can do it like this.

(Both together):

Yeah, it’s dangerous. (Echoing: Dangerous... dangerous...)

(Chorus - Both - Full Energy)

'Cause you’re a dangerous woman, and I’m a broken man

I know I shouldn’t touch you, but I don’t understand

The way you make me feel when you’re cold as ice

I’d sell my soul just to pay the price

Something 'bout you, girl, it’s so insane

Dangerous...

Yeah, you’re my favorite pain.

(Outro)

(Synth fades, heavy bass continues)

(Female): You never learn, do you?

(Male): No, I never do.

(Slow fade out)
