Don't Cry Out Loud - Melissa Manchester
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'll 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 the big top down
They left behind
her dreams among the litter
And 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 tole her
"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"
"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"
