[Verse 1]
Am
Now I'm of consenting age
Em F Am
To be forgetting you in a cabaret somewhere
Downtown where a burlesque queen
Em F
May even ask my name
Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
Em F
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song
Am
On the club's P.A
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Em F
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm E F
Peach and lime daiquiri
[Chorus]
Am F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
Dm
I'm exactly where you'd like me,
F
you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety?
Am C F
Oh , isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
Dm
I'm exactly where you'd like me,
F
you know
Em Abdim7
Praying for love in a lap dance
Am Em F
And paying in naivety? Oh
[Bridge]
Am
But, I'm afraid that I
Em F
Well, I may have faked it
[Verse 2]
Am
And I wouldn't be caught dead
Em F
Ddeadddeadddead in this place
Am
Well, I'm afraid that I
Em
Well, that's right
F
Well, I may have faked it
Am Em F
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
[Chorus]
Am F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
Dm
I'm exactly where you'd like me,
F
you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety?
Am C F
Oh , isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
Dm
I'm exactly where you'd like me,
F
you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety?
