Now I'm of consenting age |
|
To be forgetting you in a cabaret |
|
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen |
|
May even ask my name |
|
As she sheds her skin on stage |
|
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's PA |
|
And the strip joint veteran sits two away |
|
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri |
|
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me? |
|
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know |
|
Praying for love in a lap dance |
|
And paying in naivety |
|
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me? |
|
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know |
|
Praying for love in a lap dance |
|
And paying in naivety |
|
Oh, but I'm afraid that I, well I may have faked it |
|
And I wouldn't be caught dead d-dead d-dead d-dead in this place |
|
Well, I'm afraid that I, well that's right, well I may have faked it |
|
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place |
|
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me? |
|
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know |
|
Praying for love in a lap dance |
|
And paying in naivety |
|
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me? |
|
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know |
|
Praying for love in a lap dance |
|
And paying in naivety |
|
Well, I'm afraid that I, well I may have faked it |
|
And I wouldn't be caught dead d-dead d-dead d-dead in this place |
|
Well, I'm afraid that I, well that's right, well I may have faked it |
|
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place |
|
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me? |
|
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know |
|
Praying for love in a lap dance |
|
And paying in naivety |
|
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me? |
|
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know |
|
Praying for love in a lap dance |
|
And paying in naivety |
|
Praying for love and paying in naivety |
|
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh |
