Rita Coolidge Don't Cry Out Loud Lyrics

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 'er 'cause, you see ---
Baby is an awful lot like me
We 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 ...

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left her dreams behind 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-me- and I told 'er

Don't cry out loud
Keep it inside --- learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
But if you should fall, remember you almost had it all ...

Don't cry out loud
Keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember we almost made it all...
