Well you should be an actress You play your part so well Your act is so believable That no one else can tell You say the lines, but I see That you don't really love me You keep me around to be your faithful clown Till someone you can love comes along You'll keep on pretending Because the show must go on Yes, you should be an actress As lovely as you are The way you play on emotion You'd shame the brightest star You're acting all the time No, you're not really mine I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme No, you dont love me at all But when you walk away That's when the curtain will fall But I'll go all the way to the end of the play I'll be a part of your masquerade Although I know it may be the saddest show In the life of a fool on parade
