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