But It's Better If You Do es el tercer sencillo de la banda Panic! at the Disco de su álbum debut A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Es la segunda canción que posee un video de la banda.
Según Ryan Ross, "Es una canción que trata acerca de estar en un cabaret, pero sin gustarte estar ahí. Por eso quería que sea como un monólogo interno complejo. Aunque no es completamente ficticio. Está basada en un momento en el cual yo estaba cortando con una chica, estando en uno de esos clubes pero deseando no estar allí. Porque en realidad, no me gustan los cabarets. Cuando la escribí, nunca pense que la iban a poner en un cabaret. Pero creo que sería una especie de cambio de lo que siempre ponen. Sería una experiencia surreal, por supuesto. Aunque creo que el tempo es un poco rápido. Por eso creo que tendría que hacer una versión cortada-y-arruinada o algo."
Letra - Panic! at the Disco - But It's Better If You Do
Now I'm of consenting age to be forgetting you in a cabaret.
Somewhere downtown where a burlesque queen may even ask my name
As she sheds her skin on stage
I'm seated and sweating to a dance song on the club's P.A.
The strip joint veteran sits two away
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified peach and lime daiquiri
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
But, but I'm afraid that I
Well, I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I
Well, that's right, well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Well, I'm afraid that I
Well, I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
Well, I'm afraid that I
Well, that's right, well I may have faked it
And I wouldn't be caught dead in this place
And isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Oh, isn't this exactly where you'd like me
I'm exactly where you'd like me, you know
Praying for love in a lap dance and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety
Praying for love and paying in naivety, oh
