Baby cried the day the circus came to
town cause she didn't want parades
just passing by her so she painted
on a smile and took of with some
clown why she danced
without a man upon the wire.

I know a lot about her 'cause
you see baby is an awful love 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 them when they pulled the big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
and different kind of love she thought
she'd found there was nothing left
but sawdust and some glitter baby can't
be broken 'cause you see she had the final
teacher that was me I told her.
