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

I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Am C F E
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Am C F
Well, I'm afraid that I
E
Well, I may have faked it
Am C F E
And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead in this place
Am C F
Well, I'm afraid that I
E
Well, that's right, well I may have faked it
Am C F E
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Am C F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
E
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Am C F E
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety

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