Lyrics

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