Well I was her crochet
I'm rough and she’s smooth
We’re connected together by hooks and by loops
Two faces embracing
Pressed close and secure
Oh just for a moment she was my velours
Oh I’ll always be waiting, I’ll always be true
I’ll always be stuck to my Velcro Girl
At face value
Our bond it was strong
Oh but from the edges it was torn all along
A betraying sound
And a deafening rip
As my hooks sadly struggled not to lose their grip
Oh I’ll always be waiting, I’ll always be true
I’ll always be stuck to my Velcro Girl
Well I've been so lonely
Since you tore us apart
Since you stuck me out here and unfastened my heart
A hook with no loop
Is a sad thing to be
But I'm easy to use and I'm maintenance free
Oh I’ll always be waiting, I’ll always be true
I’ll always be stuck to my Velcro Girl
Well I'm multi-purpose
And I'm easy and safe
You can use me to stop things from floating away
But I guess I am useless
For a long term fix
Cause I'm frayed at the edges and I’ll fall apart quick
Oh I’ll always be waiting, I’ll always be true
I’ll always be stuck to my Velcro Girl
