Charted: 1979 Peaked at #10 Arista -- 0373 From the album "Don't Cry Out Loud" B-Side "We Had This Time"
Baby cried the day the circus came to town 'Cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown While she danced without a net upon the wire I know a lot about her 'cause, you see Baby is an awful lot like me
Chorus: Don't cry out loud Just keep it inside Learn how to hide your feelings Fly high and proud And if you should fall Remember you almost had it all
Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down They left behind her dreams among the litter The different kind of love she thought she'd found There was nothin' left, but sawdust and some glitter But, baby can't be broken 'cause, you see She had the finest teacher, that was me I told her
Chorus x 3
