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
And she danced without
a net up on the wire
I know a lot about her
cause you see
My baby is
an awful lot like me
We don't cry out loud
We keep it inside
We've learned how to
hide our feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember we almost
had it all
Baby saw that when they
pulled the big top down
They'd left her dreams
behind among the litter
And the different
kind of love
she thought she'd found
It was nothing
more than sawdust
and some glitter
But baby can't be broken
cause you see
She had the finest
teacher me
I taught her
We don't cry out loud
We keep it inside
We've learned how to
hide our feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember we almost
had it all
We don't cry out loud
We keep it inside
We've learned how to
hide our feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall
Remember we almost
