I waited by the stage door, packed in with the autograph houndsBarking her name, then glowing like the end of a cigaretteWow, she came outI said, "You're living my drеam"Then she said to me
"Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquetYou're sweeter than a peachBut you don't know the life of a showgirl, babeAnd you're never ever gonnaWait, the more you play, the more that you payYou're softer than a kittenSo you don't know the life of a showgirl, babeAnd you're never gonna wanna"
She was a menaceThe baby of the family in LenoxHer father whored around like all men didHer mother took pills and played tennis
So she waited by the stage door as the club promoter arrivedShe said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life that's all mine"But that's not what showgirls getThey leave us for dead[Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter,Sabrina Carpenter & Taylor Swift]Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquetYou're sweeter than a peachButyou don't know the life of a showgirl, babeAnd you're never ever gonnaWait, the more you play,the more that you payYou're softer than a kittenSo you don't know the life of a showgirl, babeAnd you're never gonna wanna[Bridge: Taylor Swift &Sabrina Carpenter]I took her pearls of wisdom, hung them from my neckI paid my dues with every bruise, I knew what to expectDo you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?They ripped me off like false lashes and then threw me awayAnd all the headshots on the wallsOf the dance hall are of the bitchesWho wish I'd hurry up and dieBut I'm immortal now, baby dollsI couldn't if I triedSo I say[Chorus: Taylor Swift &Sabrina Carpenter]"Thank you for the lovely bouquetI'm married to the hustleAnd now I know the life of a showgirl, babeAnd I'll never know anotherPain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)Sequins are foreverAnd now I know the life of a showgirl, babeWouldn't have it any other way" (Wouldn't have it any other way)
