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 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 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 In a 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 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 Thank you for watching!
