[Verse 1] I came in on a borrowed sleeve Cuff links cold, but the grin believed Champagne line and a fake name tag I learned to smile with a paper bag The room was pearls and polished shoes Old money gliding in a tailored mood I took one glass, then I took two Just to see what the rich kids do [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw her by the ivy arch Black dress, sharp as a playing card She looked me over, head to toe Like she already knew the show [Chorus] Rented tuxedo, don't look so shocked I danced my way in, and the door stayed unlocked Rented tuxedo, I know the game She said my full name, then I forgot my shame Rented tuxedo, spinning in gold Her hand on my back and the truth got told [Verse 2] Her sister laughed with a crooked smile Said, "You been missing from this town a while" I said, "Maybe I was, maybe I’m here" She said, "That was never your disappear" We crossed that floor like a dare gone right Heel marks flashing in the ivory light The band got loud, the crowd got thin And I felt my borrowed life slip in [Pre-Chorus] She leaned close like she meant to keep Every secret I came here to steal "Free champagne?" she said, "Sure, go on" "Just don’t act like you don’t belong" [Chorus] Rented tuxedo, don't look so shocked I danced my way in, and the door stayed unlocked Rented tuxedo, I know the game She said my full name, then I forgot my shame Rented tuxedo, spinning in gold Her hand on my back and the truth got told [Bridge] Later out where the fountain sings She tapped the seam on my thrift-store rings Said, "You came for the bubbles, I came for the spark" Then she kissed me fast in the garden dark [Final Chorus] Rented tuxedo, don't look so shocked I danced my way in, and the door stayed unlocked Rented tuxedo, I know the game She said my full name, then I forgot my shame Rented tuxedo, spinning in gold Her hand on my back and the truth got told [Outro] Free champagne on a borrowed night One little lie turned out just right Rented tuxedo Rented tuxedo
