Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
You do?
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Every word of every song that he sang was for you
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet if you please
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet if you please
Black velvet with that slow southern style
Black velvet if you please
