Lyrics:

I reach out to you and I hope that you'll help me to be a success.
I can't handle it if you're not there, I couldn't settle for less.
'Cause I need somebody special to help me enjoy all the fame
Someone to help me face the crowds, who loves me for more than my name

Masquerade - it would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid
If you weren't there to help me share.

You've been around to all the bad times when I couldn't pay the rent.
Now things are differents, I want you here while the money's around to be spent.
'Cause you desenre to share with me all magic life has to give.
I want you here right by my side, we only have one life to live.

Masquerade - it would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid
If you weren't there to help me share.

What good is success if you're out of there on your own?
What good is money if you're spending it alone?
What good is fame when there're strangers in the crowd?
What good is talent if you're crying out loud?

When I'm giving interviews and they ask me how I became a star
I tell them all about your help, without you I coyldn't go far.
'Cause you are my guiding light to deal with the problems around
My life is resting in your hands and I can feel safe and sound.

Masquerade - it would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid
If you weren't there to help me share.

Masquerade - it would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid ...
