taylor swift - the life of a showgirl (dressing room rehearsal version) 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”
and she said to me

[chorus: taylor swift]
“hey, thank you for thе 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”)
[verse 2: sabrina carpenter]
she was a menace
the baby of the family in lenox
her father wh0red around like all men did
her mother took pills and played tennis

[pre+chorus: sabrina carpenter & both]
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 & 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 b+tches
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 & both]
“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]
(wouldn’t have it any other way)
wouldn’t have it any other way
(so thank you for the lovely bouquet)
hey, kitty (oh)
(thank you for the lovely bouquet)
now i make my money being pretty and witty (oh)
thank you for the lovely bouquet
