Baby cried the day the circus
came to town
'Cause she didn't want parades
just passin' 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 that big top down
They left behind her dreams
among the litter
The different kind of love
she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but
sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken
'cause you see
She had the finest teacher
that was me I told her
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
Oh 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
