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... 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 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 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 (Instrumental) 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 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 Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm
