You love the way it makes me feel when I cant catch my breath

Like walkin on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death

You're always high above me and Im always fallin down

Our loves just a circus baby, and Im just the clown.

And Ill do tricks for you, just like you want me to

Ill do anything it takes just to hang around

Ill paint a smile for you to cover up my frown

'Cause our loves a circus and Im just the clown.

Everyones in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh

And Ill bet when they see me cry, they think its just an act

Ah, but someday when its over and we bring the big top down

You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown.

And Ill do tricks for you, just like you want me to

Ill do anything it takes just to hang around

Ill paint a smile for you to cover up my frown

'Cause you love the circus, but you dont love the clown...
