Don't cry out loud lyrics

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 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, 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 nothing 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 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
