Georges Legrand - Velvet in the Bookshelves Lyrics

Keep it down with all the noise
I can't hear myself think
Sitting in the library
I've had a couple drinks
Feeling fine all clad in velvet
Thought I turned your head
But you were just browsing the bookshelves
You look pretty well read

Seeing you dressed head to toe
In casual studywear
It makes me go hot under the collar
Sitting in my chair
All I want to do is dance with you
But I suspect
We might get kicked out and then
I might lose your respect

I haven't read a book in years
But you could
Get me reading once again
I haven't read a book in years
But you could
Get me reading anything

Baby you and me could go real far
If you gave us a chance
I know I'm just a stranger who is
Asking you dance
Don't worry what the others think
Cause it's just us here
Standing between Tolstoy
And the complete works of Shakespeare

I haven't read a book in years
But you could
Get me reading once again
I haven't read a book in years
But you could
Get me reading anything
