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!
