American Idol - Diana Degarmo-Don't Cry Out Loud Lyrics

Baby cried the day the circus came to town,
'Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her.
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown,
While she danced without a net upon the wire.
I know a lot about her, 'cause you see,
Baby, is an awful lot like me.

Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your 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,
Left behind her dreams among the litter.
A different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothing left but sawdust and some glitter.

Baby can't be broken, 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher,
And that was me.

I told her
Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it all.

Don't cry out loud,
Just keep it inside,
And learn how to hide your feelings.
Fly high and proud.
And if you should fall,
Remember you almost had it all.
