If You Wear That Velvet Dress - feat. Bono
Tonight
The moon is playing tricks again
I'm feelin' seasick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
I've been good
Cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you
It's the daylight that gets me through
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
Room was naked and cold
I was like a two-year-old
Just wanting more
But if you wear
That velvet dress
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
Tonight
The moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No one else gonna know
I'm wanting
It's okay
Struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my hands to pray
But if you wear
That velvet dress
If you wear
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
I say
Hold me baby
Hold me now
Hold me baby
I'm cryin' out loud
Show me baby
Just what to do
I've got the whole night
And then we're through
Tonight
The moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls
Wear that velvet dress
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
Yeah
If you wear that velvet dress
The moon is playing tricks again
I'm feelin' seasick again
The whole world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water
I've been good
Cause I know you don't want me to
Do you really want me to be blue as you
It's the daylight that gets me through
We've been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
Room was naked and cold
I was like a two-year-old
Just wanting more
But if you wear
That velvet dress
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
Tonight
The moon has drawn its curtains
It's a private show
No one else gonna know
I'm wanting
It's okay
Struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my hands to pray
But if you wear
That velvet dress
If you wear
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
I say
Hold me baby
Hold me now
Hold me baby
I'm cryin' out loud
Show me baby
Just what to do
I've got the whole night
And then we're through
Tonight
The moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who'll catch the star when it falls
Wear that velvet dress
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
If you wear
That velvet dress
Wear that velvet dress
Yeah
If you wear that velvet dress
