Don't Cry Out Loud

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 up with some clown While she danced without a net upon a 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 their dreams among the litter And the different kind of love she thought she crowned There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter But baby can 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
