The Life of a Showgirl (feat. Sabrina Carpenter) Lyrics
[00:11.42] Her name was Kitty
[00:13.15] Made her money being pretty and witty
[00:16.21] They gave her the keys to this city
[00:19.45] Then they said she didn't do it legitly, oh
[00:23.39] I bought a ticket
[00:25.38] She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
[00:28.40] Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
[00:31.55] Looking back, I guess it was kismet
[00:35.50] I waited by the stage door
[00:38.13] Packed in with the autograph hounds
[00:39.98] Barking her name
[00:41.10] Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
[00:43.49] Wow, she came out
[00:44.66] I said, "You're living my drеam"
[00:47.62] Then she said to me
[00:51.88] "Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[00:55.78] You're sweeter than a peach
[00:57.65] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:01.90] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:03.92] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[01:07.90] You're softer than a kitten, so
[01:10.17] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:14.08] And you're never gonna wanna"
[01:18.75] She was a menace
[01:20.45] The baby of the family in Lenox
[01:23.35] Her father whored around like all men did
[01:26.41] Her mother took pills and played tennis
[01:31.03] So she waited by the stage door
[01:32.78] As the club promoter arrived
[01:34.90] She said, "I'd sell my soul
[01:36.23] To have a taste of a magnificent life that's all mine"
[01:39.95] But that's not what showgirls get
[01:43.41] They leave us for dead
[01:46.17] Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[01:50.46] You're sweeter than a peach
[01:52.18] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:56.54] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:58.42] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[02:02.53] You're softer than a kitten, so
[02:04.77] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:08.68] And you're never gonna wanna
[02:11.14] I took her pearls of wisdom
[02:12.77] Hung them from my neck
[02:14.16] I paid my dues with every bruise
[02:15.88] I knew what to expect
[02:17.48] Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
[02:20.53] They ripped me off like false lashes
[02:22.29] And then threw me away
[02:23.92] And all the headshots on the walls
[02:27.98] Of the dance hall are of the bitches
[02:30.88] Who wish I'd hurry up and die
[02:36.17] But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
[02:40.25] I couldn't if I tried
[02:44.78] So I say
[02:46.29] "Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[02:50.29] I'm married to the hustle
[02:52.01] And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:56.22] And I'll never know another
[02:58.06] Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
[03:01.93] Sequins are forever, and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[03:08.20] Wouldn't have it any other way (Wouldn't have it any other way, thank you for the lovely bouquet, oh)
[03:14.34] Wouldn't have it any other way (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
[03:22.05] Hey, Kitty (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
[03:26.60] Now I make my money being pretty and witty
[03:29.84] Thank you for the lovely bouquet"
[03:35.88] Thank you for an unforgettable night
[03:39.47] We will see you next time
[03:41.11] Give it up for the band
[03:42.62] And the dancers
[03:46.52] And of course, Sabrina
[03:48.76] I love you, Taylor
[03:50.52] That's our show
[03:51.54] We love you so much
[03:52.54] Goodnight
[03:55.11]
