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 tensed without a needle upon the wire

I know a lot about her 'cause you see

Baby is an orphan at my crib

Don't cry out loud

Keep it inside

Learn how to hide our feelings

Fly high and proud

And if you should fall

Remember you almost had it all

Whatever goes on inside, it's nobody's business

It's private, don't you ever forget that

Remember you almost had it

Don't cry out loud

Just keep it inside

Learn how to hide our feelings

Fly high and proud

And if you should fall

Remember you almost had it all

You almost had it all
