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
