Sixteen Shades

Chorus

Lace and silk and satin rows

Lace and silk and satin rows

Drawer by drawer I keep them close

Every color that I chose

Verse 1

Sixteen sets in sixteen shades

Ribbons looped in tidy braids

I sort them slow on Sunday nights

Silk against my fingertips

Nothing fits me quite like this

I fold the straps and kill the lights

Pre-Chorus

Matching is a sacred thing

Ribbon ties and tiny strings

Nobody has to know

Chorus

Lace and silk and satin rows

Drawer by drawer I keep them close

Every color that I chose

Every color that I chose

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Verse 2

Midnight black and cherry red

Blush I almost never wear

Rose embroidery on the hem

I bought it on a whim last spring

Told myself it's just a thing

But I keep coming back to them

Pre-Chorus

Matching is a sacred thing

Ribbon ties and tiny strings

Nobody has to know

Chorus

Lace and silk and satin rows

Drawer by drawer I keep them close

Every color that I chose

Every color that I chose

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh

Bridge

Soft to touch and soft to hold

Some I keep and some I've sold

Some I've never even worn

Tucked away since I was born

Chorus

Lace and silk and satin rows

Drawer by drawer I keep them close

Every color that I chose

Every color that I chose

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh oh-oh
