Elkie Brooks - Don't Cry Out Loud lyrics

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
