August - Greatest Show On Earth lyrics

rate me

Hey, whoa, oho

Was the greatest show on earth, yeah

August, whoa!

You started the show, much smoother than most

Should have known that you had tricks upon your sleeve, yeah

I watched it unfold, right under my nose

Pulled the wool over my eyes so quickly

I didn’t see it coming

[Bridge]

One minute you was all I need

And the next you couldn’t be found

Thought I had you in lock and keep when the curtain hit the ground

You was gone, gone, gone

Had me sitting here just wondering

What the hell I did wrong, oh

[Chorus]

Cause just like that, puff, abracadabra

You wasn’t there, disappeared into thin air, thin air

And just like that puff, I couldn’t have you

I wasn’t worth it and it couldn’t work

It was the greatest show on earth, it was

You fooled me, the greatest show on earth

Said you fooled me

Cause I bought into the show

How was I supposed to know

I was just a character in the greatest show on earth

How could I be so blind, I saw all the signs

But I wanted so much just to be wrong, yeah

I was fooled by the look, oldest trick in the book

And I blinked inside and leave you was gone

I never saw it coming

[Bridge]

One minute you was all I need

And the next you couldn’t be found

Thought I had you in lock and keep when the curtain hit the ground

You was gone, gone, gone

Had me sitting here just wondering

What the hell I did wrong, oh

[Chorus]

Cause just like that, puff, abracadabra

You wasn’t there, disappeared into thin air, thin air

And just like that puff, I couldn’t have you

I wasn’t worth it and it couldn’t work

It was the greatest show on earth, it was

You fooled me, the greatest show on earth

Said you fooled me

Cause I bought into the show

How was I supposed to know

I was just a character in the greatest show on earth

It was classic boy I have to give you that

Was simple magic, rip it out the hand

See you must have had a trap door set below

Cause I was like where did you go?

[Chorus]

Cause just like that, puff, abracadabra

You wasn’t there, disappeared into thin air, thin air

And just like that puff, I couldn’t have you

I wasn’t worth it and it couldn’t work

It was the greatest show on earth, it was

You fooled me, the greatest show on earth

Said you fooled me

Cause I bought into the show

How was I supposed to know

I was just a character in the greatest show on earth.
