Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

[Chorus]
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, my darling and so is love

[Verse 2]
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says 'No, no, you're not the same'

[Outro]
I'm affraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
So is love, the masquerade is over
So is love
