Song by Melissa Manchester<br /><br>
Baby cried the day the circus came to town<br>
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her<br>
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown<br>
While she danced without a net upon the wire<br>
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see<br>
Baby is an awful lot like me<br>
<br>
Don't cry out loud<br>
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings<br>
Fly high and proud<br>
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all<br>
<br>
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down<br>
They left behind her dreams among the litter<br>
The different kind of love she thought she'd found<br>
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter<br>
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see<br>
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er<br>
<br>
Don't cry out loud<br>
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings<br>
Fly high and proud<br>
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all<br>
<br>
Don't cry out loud<br>
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings<br>
Fly high and proud<br>
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it<br>
<br>
Don't cry out loud<br>
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings<br>
Fly high and proud<br>
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all<br>
 <br>
