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 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
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 tole her 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
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
