Baby cried the day the circus came to town |
|
Cause she didn't wan't 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'll 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 the big top down |
|
They left behind her dreams among the litter |
|
And 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 |
