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 P.A.
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Smirking between
Dignified sips of his dignified
Peach and lime daiquiri
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and 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 and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Oh, oh 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 I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and 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 and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three
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
Isn't this exactly where you'd like me?
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love and 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 and a lap dance
And paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh
Break time
--------
Oh, well imagine
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor
And I can't help but to hear
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words
"What a beautiful wedding
What a beautiful wedding", says a bridesmaid to a waiter
"And, yes, but what a shame
What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore"
I chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of
Well, in fact
Well, I'll look at it this way
I mean, technically, our marriage is saved
Well, this calls for a toast
So pour the champagne
Oh, well in fact
Well, I'll look at it this way
I mean, technically, our marriage is saved
Well, this calls for a toast
So pour the champagne, pour the champagne
I chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
Again
I chime in
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
I chime in
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality
Again
