(Words by Carol Bayer Sager and Music by Peter Allen)
|
Baby cried the day the circus came to town
|
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing 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 her
|
'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 her
|
|
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
|
