(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over

(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over - Clyde McPhatter

Your eyes Your eyes don't shine

Like they used to shine

The thrill is gone

When your lips meet mine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love and so is love

Your words Your words don't mean

What they used to mean

They were once inspired

Now they're just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci

And get myself a clown's disguise

And I'll learn to laugh like Pagliacci

But with tears in my eyes

You look you look the same

You're a lot a lot the same

But my heart says

"No no you're not the same"

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love and so is love
