Lirik Lagu The Life of a Showgirl - Taylor Swift ft. Sabrina Carpenter

Her name was Kitty

Made her

money being pretty and witty

They gave her the keys to this city

Then they said she didn’t do it legitly, uh

I bought a ticket

She’s dancing in her garters and fishnets

Fifty in the cast, zero missteps

Looking back, I guess it was kismet

I waited by the stage door

Packed in with the autograph

Hounds barking her name

Then glowing like the end of a cigarette

Wow, she came out

I said, “You’re living my dr?am”

Then she said to me

“H?y, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You’re sweeter than a peach

But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you’re never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay

You’re softer than a kitten, so

You don’t wanna know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you’re never gonna wanna”

She was a menace

The baby of the family in Lenox

Her father whored around like all men did

Her mother took pills and played tennis

So she waited by the stage door

Asked the club for more to arrive

She said, “I’d sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life”

It’s all mine

But that’s not what showgirls get

They leave us for death

Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

You’re sweeter than a peach

But you don’t know the life of a showgirl,babe

And you’re never, ever gonna

Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay

You’re softer than a kitten so

You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe

And you’re never gonna wanna

I took her pearls of wisdom

Hung them from my neck

I paid my dues with every bruise

I knew what to expect

You wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins

They ripped off me off like false lashes

And then threw me away

And all the headshots on the walls

Of the dance hall are of the bitches

Who wish I’d hurry up and die

But, I’m immortal now, baby dolls

I couldn’t if I try, so I say

But, I’m immortal now, baby dolls

I couldn’t if I try, so I say

“Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet

I’m married to the hustle

And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

And I’ll never know another

Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (And lace)

Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe

Wouldn’t have it any other way

(Thank you for the lovely bouquet) Have it any other

(Thank you for lovely bouquet)

And now I’m making money being pretty and witty

Thank you for the lovely bouquet

Thank you for an unforgettable night

We will see you next time

Give it up for the band

And the dancers

And of course, Sabrina

I love you, Taylor

That’s our show

We love you so much

Goodnight

(Tka)
