Don't Cry Out Loud

Baby cried the day the circus came to town Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown And she danced without a net up on the wire I know a lot about her cause you see My baby is an awful lot like me We don't cry out loud We keep it inside We've learned how to hide our feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall Remember we almost had it all Baby saw that when they pulled the big top down They'd left her dreams behind among the litter And the different kind of love she thought she'd found It was nothing more than sawdust and some glitter But baby can't be broken cause you see She had the finest teacher, me, I taught her We don't cry out loud We keep it inside We've learned how to hide our feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall Remember we almost had it all We don't cry out loud We keep it inside We've learned how to hide our feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall Remember we almost had it all
