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,

And 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 nothing 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 alllllll

Ohhh ohhh heyy yeahhhhh

Oooohhh woohhh

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,

And learn how

to hide your feelings.

Fly high and proud.

And if you should fall,

Remember you almost

had it alllllllll
