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
|
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
|
|
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 -
|
