Now I'm of consenting age
G F
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
Am
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen
G F
May even ask my name
Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
G F Am
I'm sitting and sweating to a dance song on the club's PA.
G
And the strip joint veteran sits two away
F G D F
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri
Am C F
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm F
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Am G
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 F
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Am G
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety
