Baby cried the day the circus came to town |
|
'Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her |
|
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown |
|
While she danced without a net upon the wire |
|
I know a lot about 'er |
|
'Cause you see |
|
Baby is an awful |
|
Lot like me |
|
Don't cry out loud |
|
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings |
|
Fly high and proud |
|
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all |
|
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down |
|
They left behind her dreams among the litter |
|
And the different kind of love she thought she'd found |
|
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter |
|
But baby can't be broken |
|
'Cause you see |
|
She had the finest teacher |
|
That was me, I told 'er |
|
Don't cry out loud |
|
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings |
|
Fly high and proud |
|
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all |
|
Don't cry out loud |
|
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings |
|
Fly high and proud |
|
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it |
|
Don't cry out loud |
|
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings |
|
Fly high and proud |
|
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all |
