Baby cried the day the circus came to town.

Cause she didn't like parades just passing by her.

So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown.

And 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.

We 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 the day they pulled the big top down.

They left behind her [ dreams] among the litter.

A different kind of love she thought [ she'd] found.

There's nothing more [ than] sawdust and some glitter.

But baby can't be broken cause [ you] see.

She had the finest [ teacher] and that was me.

I told her 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.

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 made [ it.]

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.

Thanks for watching!
