Verse

 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

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, 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......

Verse

*PALM MUTE*

But I'm afraid that I

Well, I may of faked it

 And I wouldn't be caught dead, dead, dead, dead in this place

 Well, I'm afraid that I

 That's right well, that 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, 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
