Aretha Franklin - The Masquerade Is Over lyrics

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 Your kiss don't mean what it used, what it used to mean It once was inspired, now it's just another routine I'm so afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise And then I'll learn to laugh, laugh like Pagliacci, oh, with tears all in my eyes Hey, baby, your kiss don't mean what it used, what it used to mean It once was inspired, now it's just an everytime routine I'm so afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love
