(Leo Sayer/David Courtney)
|
Baby, although I chose this lonely life
|
It seems it's strangling me now
|
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars
|
They're all laughing at me now
|
Oh I've been used
|
I've been taken for a fool, oh what a fool
|
I broke all the rules
|
But I won't let the show go on
|
Baby look there's an enormous crowd of people
|
And they're all after my blood
|
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls
|
Of this theatre and let me out, let me out
|
Oh I've been so blind
|
I've wasted time
|
Wasted, wasted, oh so much time
|
Walking on the wire, high wire
|
But I won't let the show go on
|
|
[Scat verse]
|
Oh I've been so blind
|
I've wasted time
|
Wasted, wasted, oh so much time
|
Walking on the wire, high wire
|
But I won't let the show go on
|
Baby I wish you'd help me escape
|
And help me get away
|
Leave me outside my address
|
Far away from this masquerade
|
I've been so used I've been so abused
|
I've been a fool I broke all the rules
|
I've been so used oh and abused
|
But I won't let the show go
|
I said I won't let the show oh
|
Won't let the show go on
|
