Velour domino,
The things you teach me
I don't think I should know.
I try to stop,
But then you tell me to go
And put down my tiles in a row
Like the smiles that you steal.
No, not fuzzy dice.
You feel like velvet
But you look cold as ice.
I've played just once
And I've already lost twice
In your take-all game
It's the price of the shame that I pay.
You'll never know just what you mean to me, girl.
But that's OK.
You never show just what you feel inside, girl.
You just play.
Oh, why can't you see?
The things you do, they're no good for me.
For you they're fun,
For me they're misery.
When you leave me alone
Then I'm shown what a fool I have been.
Intriguing brunette,
I think you're everything.
You think I'm your pet.
You throw me down like a smoked cigarette
And then pick me up scarred
To be used as a card in your hand.
You'll never know just what you mean to me, girl.
But that's OK.
You never show just what you feel inside, girl.
You just play.
Velour domino,
The things you teach me
I don't think I should know.
I try to stop
But then you tell me to go
And put down my tiles in a row
Like the smiles that you steal.
