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 dance 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 learn

how to hide your feelings

fly high 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

and a different kind of

love she thought she found

there was nothing left but

saw dust 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 learn

how to hide your feelings

fly high proud

and if you should fall

remember you almost had it all

oh oooh oooh ohh yeah

don't cry out loud

just keep it inside learn

how to hide your feelings

fly high 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 proud

and if you should fall

remember you almost had it all
