Am
Now I'm of consenting age
Em C
To be forgetting you in a cabaret
Am
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen
Em C
May even ask my name
Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
Em C Am
I'm sitting and sweating to a dance song on the club's PA.
Em
And the strip joint veteran sits two away
C Am C Fmaj7
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri...
Am C Fmaj7
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Am C Fmaj7
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety
(Pausa)
Oh, but I'm afraid that I,
Well I may have faked it
Am Em C
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place
Am Em
Well, I'm afraid that I,
C
That's right, well I may have faked it
Am Em
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Am C Fmaj7
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Am C Fmaj7
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
Dm Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Am C Em Am C Am C
Am Em
Well, I'm afraid that I,
Well I may have faked it
Am Em
And I wouldn't be caught dead-d-dead-d-dead-d-dead in this place
Am Em
Well, I'm afraid that I,
That's right, well I may have faked it

Dm Am
I'm exactly where you'd like me you know
Em Dm
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
