Baby cried the day the circus came to town br 'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her br So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown br While she danced without a net upon the wire br I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see br Baby is an awful lot like me br br Don't cry out loud br Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings br Fly high and proud br And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all br br Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down br They left behind her dreams among the litter br br The different kind of love she thought she'd found br There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter br But baby can't be broken 'cause you see br She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er br br Don't cry out loud br Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings br Fly high and proud br And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all br br Don't cry out loud br Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings br Fly high and proud br And if you should fall, remember you almost made it br br Don't cry out loud br Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings br Fly high and proud br And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
