Perspective's Sentence Starters; The Life of a Showgirl (Part II)
ACTUALLY ROMANTIC
I heard you call me "Boring Barbie" when you're out feeling brave
It's actually romantic
I really gotta hand it to you
No man has ever loved me like you do
You keep sending me funny valentines
I know you think it comes off vicious, but it's precious
That's how much it hurts
Why are we always talking 'bout her?
You think I'm tacky, baby?
Stop talking dirty to me
It sounded nasty, but it feels like you're flirting with me
I mind my business
God's my witness that I don't provoke it
It's kind of making me wet
You've just given me so much attention
WI$H LI$T
They want it all
They should have what they want
They deserve what they want
Hope they get what they want
I just want you
We tell the world to leave us thе fuck alone, and they do
You got me dreaming 'bout a driveway with a basketball hoop
I made wishes on all of the stars
Please, God, bring me a best friend who I think is hot
I thought I had it right, once, twice, but I did not
You caught me off my guard
I hope I get what I want
I know what I want
We could have a couple kids
WOOD
He loves me not
I'll admit I've been a little superstitious
Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck
A bad sign is all good
I ain’t gotta knock on wood
It's you and me forever dancing in the dark
Forgive me, it sounds cocky
He hypnotized me and opened my eyes
His love was the key that opened my thighs
I don't need to catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on the way
The curse on me was broken by your magic wand
CANCELLED!
They'd already picked out your grave and hearse
Beware the wrath of masked crusader
Did they catch you having far too much fun?
Come with me
When they see us, they'll run
Something wicked this way comes
At least you know exactly who your friends are
They're the ones with matching scars
It's easy to love you when you're popular
Did you make a joke only a man could?
Were you just too smug for your own good?
That all ends tonight
They believed I was innocent
I'm not here for judgment
If you can't be good, then just be better at it
Everyone's got bodies in the attic
Soon you'll learn the art of never getting caught
I salute you if you're much too much to handle
They've broken you like they've broken me
HONEY
You can call me "honey" if you want
When anyone called me "sweetheart", it was passive-aggressive at the bar
The bitch was telling me to back off 'cause her man had looked at me wrong
I cried the whole way home
You give it different meaning 'cause you mean it when you talk
Honey, I'm home
We could play house
What's the plan?
You could be my forever-night stand
Sweetie, it's yours
Take it to the floor
Give me more
He was screwing around with my mind
*Name* was too high to remember in the morning
They were finding ways not to praise me
You say it like you're in awe of me
THE LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL
She made her money being pretty and witty
I bought a ticket
She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
Looking back, I guess it was kismet
I waited by the stage door
You're living my dream
Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
You're sweeter than a peach
You don't know the life of a showgir
You're never ever gonna
The more you play, the more that you pay
She was a menace
Her father whored around like all men did
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
I knew what to expect
They ripped me off like false lashes and then threw me away
I'm immortal now
I couldn't if I tried
I'm married to the hustle
I'll never know another
I wouldn't have it any other way
Thank you for an unforgettable night
That's our show
We love you so much
