Don't Cry Out Loud

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
 And she danced without a net upon the wire
 I know a lot about her 'cause, you see
 Baby is an awful lot like me
 We don't cry out loud
 We keep it inside, just learn how to hide our feelings (fly high)
 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
 And the different kind of love she thought she'd found
 It was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
 But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
 She had the finest teacher, me, and I taught her
 Don't cry out loud (don't cry out loud)
 Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings (fly high)
 Fly high and proud
 Then if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
 Don't cry out loud
 You gotta it inside, learn how to hide your feelings (fly high)
 Fly high and proud
 And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all
 Girl, don't cry out loud
 You gotta keep it inside, you learn how to hide the feelings (fly high)
 Fly high and proud
 And if you should fall, well, baby you you almost, you almost had it all
