But It`s Better When We Do Lyrics

But It`s Better When We Do lyrics

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 clubs PA.

And 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 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 like me you know

Praying for love in a lap dance 

And paying in naivety



Oh, but I'm afraid that I, 

Well I may have faked it

And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

Well, I'm afraid that I,

That's right, well I may have faked it 

And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place



And isn't this exactly where you'd like me

I'm exactly where you 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 like me you know

Praying for love in a lap dance 

And paying in naivety



Well, I'm afraid that I, 

Well I may have faked it

And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place

Well, I'm afraid that I,

That's right, well I may have faked it 

And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place



And isn't this exactly where you'd like me

I'm exactly where you 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 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
