"Life of a Showgirl"
[00:11.44] [Taylor Swift]
[00:11.44] Her name was Kitty
[00:13.30] Made her money being pretty and witty
[00:16.49] They gave her the keys to this city
[00:19.45] Then they said she didn't do it legitly, oh
[00:23.43] I bought a ticket
[00:25.57] She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
[00:28.75] Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
[00:31.93] Looking back, I guess it was kismet
[00:35.39] I waited by the stage door, packed in with the autograph hounds
[00:39.90] Barking her name, then glowing like the end of a cigarette, wow, she came out
[00:44.95] I said, "You're living my drеam"
[00:48.40] Then she said to me
[00:51.59] "Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[00:55.85] You're sweeter than a peach
[00:57.43] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:01.96] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:03.81] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[01:08.06] You're softer than a kitten, so
[01:09.92] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:14.17] And you're never gonna wanna"
[01:18.15] [Sabrina Carpenter]
[01:18.15] She was a menace
[01:20.01] The baby of the family in Lenox
[01:23.20] Her father whored around like all men did
[01:26.39] Her mother took pills and played tennis
[01:30.64] [Sabrina Carpenter & Taylor Swift]
[01:30.64] So she waited by the stage door as the club promoter arrived
[01:34.36] She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life that's all mine"
[01:39.72] But that's not what showgirls get
[01:42.91] They leave us for dead
[01:46.36] Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[01:50.35] You're sweeter than a peach
[01:51.94] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:56.46] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:58.58] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[02:02.61] You're softer than a kitten, so
[02:04.73] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:08.72] And you're never gonna wanna
[02:10.84] [Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter]
[02:10.84] I took her pearls of wisdom, hung them from my neck
[02:14.03] I paid my dues with every bruise, I knew what to expect
[02:17.21] Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
[02:20.40] They ripped me off like false lashes and then threw me away
[02:23.85] And all the headshots on the walls
[02:27.57] Of the dance hall are of the witches
[02:30.76] Who wish I'd hurry up and die
[02:35.54] But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
[02:39.79] I couldn't if I tried
[02:44.58] So I say
[02:47.01] "Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[02:49.93] I'm married to the hustle
[02:51.52] And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:56.04] And I'll never know another
[02:57.90] Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
[03:02.41] Sequins are forever
[03:03.47] And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[03:08.26] Wouldn't have it any other way" (Wouldn't have it any other way)
[03:11.44] (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
[03:12.55] Oh, wouldn't have it any other way
[03:17.60] (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
[03:21.85] Hey, Kitty
[03:23.71] (Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
[03:26.10] Now I make my money being pretty and witty
[03:29.60] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:36.50] Thank you for an unforgettable night
[03:39.16] We will see you next time
[03:41.02] Give it up for the band
[03:44.24] And the dancers
[03:46.70] And of course, Sabrina
[03:48.33] I love you, Taylor
[03:49.92] That's our show
[03:51.05] We love you so much
[03:52.17] Goodnight
