Spotlight glaring down
Silence from the crowd
The circus is just beginning

I tremble, looking around
I would hate to fall and hit the ground
In front of all these people
That wouldn't be pleasant

So the music plays
And the trapeze sways
And my heart is beating faster
But all I hear is laughter
From the crowd
Cause they see right through my gaze

Would you please tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just trying to understand
Why you don't love me
Why you don't love me for me

There is someone who loves you for you

I keep lying to myself
Trying to be somebody else
In front of all these people
I feel really foolish
And when the main attraction at the masquerade
If I keep goin' like this, I'm gonna go insane
Is this circus act all I'll ever be?
Yeah

Would you please tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just playing a losing hand
If you don't love me
If you don't love me for me

There is someone who loves you for you

God loves you and me
Let me tell you it's the kind of love that's given free
And it doesn't fake
And it doesn't flake
And it doesn't play those games
God loves me and you
Let me tell you it's the kind of love
It's real, it's true
And it doesn't lie
And it's doesn't cheat
After it takes you off your feet

So just tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just trying to understand
Why you don't love me
Why you don't love me for me

Tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just playing a losing hand
If you don't love me
If you don't love me for me
