But It’s Better If You Do Songtext
von Panic! at the Disco

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
