Don't Cry Out Loud

Baby cried the day the circus came to town 'Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown And 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, just 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 It was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter But baby can't be broken 'cause you see She had the finest teacher, that was me, and I told 'er Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud Then if you should fall, remember you almost had it all Don't cry out loud You gotta it inside, learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all Girl, don't cry out loud You gotta keep it inside, you learn how to hide the feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall, well baby you all knows, you almost had it all
