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
