Don't Cry out Loud

Baby cried the day the circus came to town

'Cause she didn't like parades just passing 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 lots about her'cause you see

Baby is an awful lot like me

We don't cry out loud we keep it inside

Leam how to hide our feelings fly high and proud

And if you should fall remember you almost had it all

Baby saw the day they pulled the big top down

They left be hind her dreams among the litter

And the dif f'rent kind of love she thought she'd found was nothing more than sawdust and sorne glitter

But baby can't be broken 'cause you see

She had the finest teacher that's me

I taught her don't cry out loud just keep it inside

Leam how to hide your feelings fly high and proud

And if you should fall remember you almost had it

Don't cry out loud keep it inside
