Velvet and Steel
Bill Anderson · Scorpio [MCA] [1977]
(Bobby Braddock)
Sometimes she's a child I love her that way
Her little girl smile just begging to play
But when I'm confused and when I am weak
She rocks me gently takes me to her bosom.
Feeds me her love and gives me her strenghts
She's velvet and steel (she's gentle and strong)
She's a lamb (she's a tiger) and I'll stand beside her
My beautiful spider spinning her web of velvet and steel.
--- Instrumental ---
Blow in my mind like a soft evening breeze
She's patient and kind, so anxious to please
But she's like a storm if she needs to be
Like a tornado wiping out anything that gets in her way
She does it for me.
She's velvet and steel (she's gentle and strong)
She's a lamb (she's a tiger) and I'll stand beside her
My beautiful spider spinning her web of velvet and steel...
