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 And she danced without a net upon the wire I know a lot about her 'Cause you see Baby is an awful love 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 day 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 more but sawdust and some glitter But baby can't be broken 'Cause you see She had the finest teacher that was 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 ooh 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
