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 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
 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 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 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
