[Verse 1]
Midnight dripping down the window,
Red lips underneath the smoke,
You keep staring like you know me,
But you don't know what you woke.
I walk in and kill the silence,
Heels like thunder on the floor,
You can call it bad decisions—
Baby, I call it wanting more.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't get closer if you're frightened,
I don't come with warning signs.
I'm the thought you shouldn't entertain,
But somehow stays inside your mind.
[Chorus]
I'm your velvet venom,
Sweet enough to make you stay,
Dark enough to leave a mark
That you won't wash away.
You can fight the feeling,
You can swear you're in control,
But I'm the kind of dangerous
That gets underneath your soul.
So come a little closer—
If you dare to lose your head.
I'm your velvet venom,
And you'll want me when I'm gone instead.
[Verse 2]
Black dress, silver necklace,
Your eyes follow every move,
I don't need to say I'm trouble—
Baby, you already know.
Got a little wicked smile,
Got a secret in my eyes,
You keep telling yourself “leave her,”
While you're stepping closer every time.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't mistake my lips for mercy,
Don't confuse my heart for tame.
I can make you feel like heaven
While I'm whispering your name.
[Chorus]
I'm your velvet venom,
Sweet enough to make you stay,
Dark enough to leave a mark
That you won't wash away.
You can fight the feeling,
You can swear you're in control,
But I'm the kind of dangerous
That gets underneath your soul.
So come a little closer—
If you dare to lose your head.
I'm your velvet venom,
And you'll want me when I'm gone instead.
[Bridge]
I don't chase.
I don't beg.
I just leave you wanting more.
One look,
One touch,
And you're forgetting what you came here for.
You thought you could handle me—
Cute mistake.
Now tell me, darling…
How much temptation can you take?
[Breakdown]
Lights low.
Heart racing.
Your restraint is slowly breaking.
Say my name like you mean it.
Come on—
I wanna hear you admit it.
[Final Chorus]
I'm your velvet venom,
Sweet enough to make you stay,
Dark enough to leave a scar
You secretly love to trace.
You can run from me,
But you'll hear me in your head,
I'm the midnight on your lips,
I'm the danger in your bed.
So come a little closer—
Let the whole damn world disappear.
I'm your velvet venom,
And you knew exactly what you'd find
When you came near.
