You love the way it makes me feel when I canâÂÂt catch my breath Like walkinâ on a high wire, Lord, it scares me half to death You're always high above me and IâÂÂm always fallinâ down Our loveâÂÂs just a circus baby, and IâÂÂm just the clown
And IâÂÂll do tricks for you, just like you want me to IâÂÂll do anything it takes just to hang around IâÂÂll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown Cause our loves a circus and IâÂÂm just the clown
EveryoneâÂÂs in love with you, but they just look at me and laugh And IâÂÂll bet when they see me cry, they think itâÂÂs just an act Ah, but someday when itâÂÂs over and we bring the big top down You can say it was one big circus and I was just the clown
And IâÂÂll do tricks for you, just like you want me to IâÂÂll do anything it takes just to hang around IâÂÂll paint a smile for you to cover up my frown Cause you love the circus, but you donâÂÂt love the clown
