Intro

Oooo oooo ooo

Well, you should be an actress

You play your part so well

Your act is so believeable

That no one else can tell

You say the lines but I see

That you don't really love me

You keep me around to be your faithful clown

Till someone you can love comes along

And you'll keep on pretending

Because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress

As lovely as you are

The way you play on emotions

You'd shame the brightest star

You're acting all the time

No, you're not really mine

I'm just another scene in your "play acting" scheme

No, you don't love me at all

But when you walk away

That's when the curtain will fall

But I'll go all the way to the end of the play

I'll be a part of your masquerade

Although I know it may be the saddest show

In the life of a fool on parade
