VERSE:
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 P.A.
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri
CHORUS:
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, 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......
VERSE:
*PALM MUTE*
But I'm afraid that I
Well, I may of faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I
That's right well, that I may have faked it
(ring out)
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
CHORUS:
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, 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
SOLO:
, , , , , x2
Well, I'm afraid that I
Well, I may of faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead, dead in this place x2
CHORUS:
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, 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
Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety
.......oh.
