Velvet Rope

(feat. Vanessa Mae)

Written by Janet Jackson, James Harris III, Terry Lewis, René Elizondo Jr., Malcolm McLaren, Trevor Horn, Mike Oldfield

We have a special need

To feel that we belong

Come with me inside

Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need

To feel that we belong

Come with me inside

Inside my velvet rope

This special need

That's within' us

Brings out the best

Yet worst in us

Follow the passion

That's within' you

Living the truth

Will set you free

We have a special need

To feel that we belong

Come with me inside

Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need

To feel that we belong

Come with me inside

Inside my velvet rope

Put others down

To fill us up

Oppressing me

Will oppress you

Outside leave judgment

Outside leave hate

One love's the answer

You'll find in you

We have a special need

To feel that we belong

Come with me inside

Inside my velvet rope

We have a special need

To feel that we belong

Come with me inside

Inside my velvet rope
