(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine

And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

Oh baby, your words don't mean what they used to mean

They once were inspired, now they're just routine

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love

I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci

And dress in a clown's disguise

I'll learn to laugh like Pagliacci

With tears in my eyes

Oh baby, you look the same and you act the same

But my heart, it tells me no, no, you're not the same

I'm afraid the masquerade is over

And so is love, and so is love
