Baby cried the day the circus came to town 'Cause she didn't want parade just passing 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 inside And learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall Remenber you almost had it all Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down They left behind her dreams among the litter In the different kind of love thought she'd found There was nothing left but sawdust and some giltter But baby can be broken 'cause you'll see She had the finest teacher That was me, I told her
