        Am
Now I'm of consenting age
          G                F            Am
To be forgetting you in a cabaret somewhere
Am
Downtown where a burlesque queen
    G            F
May even ask my name
         Am
As she sheds her skin on stage
     G                        F
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song
                Am
On the club's P.A
                                   G
The strip joint veteran sits two away
                       F
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified
Dm        Em   F
Peach and lime daiquiri

Chorus:
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
             Em        Dm
Praying for love in a lap dance
    Dm
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
             Em       G#dim
Praying for love in a lap dance
    G#dim
And paying in naivety?

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

    Am
but I'm afraid that I
      F
Well, I may have faked it
    Am
And I wouldn't be caught
              F
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
    Am                    G
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

Chorus

Dm
Praying for love and paying in naivety
Dm                                      Am
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh
