The Life of a Showgirl Lyrics

[Verse 1: Taylor Swift] 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, oh 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 [Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift] 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 drеam" Then she said to me [Chorus: Taylor Swift] "Hеy, 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" You might also like drop dead Olivia Rodrigo Opalite Taylor Swift u + me = ˂3 Olivia Rodrigo [Verse 2: Sabrina Carpenter] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter] So she waited by the stage door as the club promoter arrived She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life that's all mine" But that's not what showgirls get They leave us for dead [Chorus: Sabrina Carpenter, Sabrina Carpenter & Taylor Swift] 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 [Bridge: Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter] I took her pearls of wisdom, hung them from my neck I paid my dues with every bruise, I knew what to expect Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins? They ripped 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 tried So I say [Chorus: Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter] "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 (Lipstick and lace) Sequins are forever And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe Wouldn't have it any other way" (Wouldn't have it any other way) [Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter] (Thank you for the lovely bouquet) Oh, wouldn't have it any other way (Thank you for the lovely bouquet) Hey, Kitty (Thank you for the lovely bouquet) Now I make my money being pretty and witty Thank you for the lovely bouquet [Outro: Taylor Swift & Sabrina Carpenter] 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 Good night
