Baby cried the day

The circus

Went to town

'cause she didn't

Want parades

Just passin' by her

So she painted

On a smile

And took up

With some clown

While she danced

Without a net

Up on 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 put

The big top down

They left behind

Her dreams

Among the litter

And the diff'rent

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 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
