Strip Club Blues

Her makeup's caked, her outfit's gone
And I can't help but think, sitting down here
Amid the jeers and leering stares
At all the cheap, gaudy trappings
With their flashing lights
I got the strip club blues
I got the strip club blues, yeah
I got the strip club blues
I saw her there in the crowd
I wanted to call out, to shout out loud
Asked if she'd dance with me, but she
Just sneered and turned away from me
I slouched back in my seat, dejected
Tried to catch her eye, but she neglected
Sucked in my gut, but still she said
That she just didn't want to dance
I watched her try to wow the crowd
Stayed up late, her moves so proud
But I still just never wanted to
I just never want to, dammit!
I ogled her, did my best to leer
I scanned the stage, my vision unclear
Called her honey, called her dear
But she just didn't want me near
I stared at the tacky neon signs
As she danced through the garish, flashing lines
But I just even then didn't want to
I just never want to
I thought I'd try a bolder ploy
Imagined her as my fantasy toy
But she just laughed and said
That she just didn't want to dance
I thought I'd make one final plea
Called myself her destiny
Felt like a pathetic, worthless thing
When she said she never wanted that
She just didn't want to
I got the strip club blues
I got the strip club blues
I got the strip club blues, god damn!
I got the strip club blues, I got 'em bad
I got the I got the strip club blues, hot dam momma
Yeah, yeah, woo!
