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

Well that's right well I may have faked it

And isn't this exactly where you'd like me

I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Am. F. C. Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Am. F
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
