Berry Gordy - (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over lyrics

[Verse 1] Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine [Chorus] I'm affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, my darling and so is love [Verse 2] Your words don't mean what they used to me They were once inspired, now they're just routine [Chorus] [Bridge] I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes You look the same You're a lot the same But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same" [Outro] I'm affraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love So is love, the masquerade is over So is love
