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
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, but I´m afraid that I
Well, I may of faked it
And I wouldn´t be caught dead in this place
Well, I´m afraid that I
Well, that´s right, that 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, 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
Well, I´m afraid that I
Well, I may of faked it
And I wouldn´t be caught 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, 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.
