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 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  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     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  (transcribed by Roman )
