Dont Cry Out Loud

Baby cried the day the circus came to town

Cause she didnt 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 the wire

I know a lot about her, cause youll see

Baby is an awful lot like me

Dont 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 the big top down

They left behind her dreams among the litter

And the different kind of love she thought shed found

There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter

But baby cant be broken cause you see

She had the finest teacher, that was me

I told her

Dont 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

Dont 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

Dont 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
