Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'Cause she didn't wanr parades just passing by her
So she painted on a smile & took up with some clown
While she dance without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about her, cause you see
Baby its an awful love like me
chorus:
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high & proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the letter
And a different kind of love she thought she found
There was nothing left but saw dust and some glitter
But baby, can't be broken, cause you see
She had the finest teacher that was me
I told her
( Repeat Chorus)
oh, oooh, ooohohhyeah
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high & proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it
Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high & proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
Don't cry
