baby cried the day the
circus came 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 upon the wire
i know a lot about er 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 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 nothin'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 er
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
