[Intro]
Afraid the masquerade is over
Afraid the masquerade is over
[Verse 1]
Girl, I'm so afraid, 'cause your eyes
Don't shine like they used to, like they used to, used to shine
Girl (The thirll is gone, the thirll is gone)
Oh, the thrill is gone (Gone)
Mmm, your lips, when your lips meet mine, girl
[Chours]
I'm afraid (I'm afraid)
The masquerade (I'm afraid the masquerade is over)
Lord, it's over, yes yes yes yes yes yes yes (Over)
[Verse 2]
I guess I'll have to learn to laugh like those other clowns
And get myself a clown disguise
And learn to laugh like clowns do
With tears (Tears), tears (Tears)
All in my eyes (Tears)
(I'm afraid the masquerade)
[Verse 3]
Girl you look good (It's over)
Oh, you look the same
Hey you're a lot, keep a lot
A whole lot to say
Oh, but my heart says no, heart says no
Oh my heart just says no
Oh you're not, said your not
Baby you're not the same
[Chorus]
And I'm so afraid (I'm afraid)
Oh, the masquerade (I'm afraid the masquerade is over)
Oh, it's over, one more time, yeah yeah (Over)
[Verse 4]
Oh you see my darling, my love ceases to be warm
When the heat from your kisses can no longer be felt
That time says that it's over
(But just remember this, as long as you live and breathe
I love you baby, I really love you)
Baby it's no fun saying goodbye to someone
As beautiful as you
I fight the pain when I say these words to you
Oh my baby, oh my baby
[Bridge]
It's over (Over)
My my my good thing is over (Over)
The masquerade is over (Over)
Woah woah lord it's over (Over)
Ho, my lord, oh my, uh, ah yeah
Huh huh huh, huh huh, huh huh
[Verse 5]
Fooled you this time, didn't I?
Fooled you this time, didn't I?
Fooled you this time, didn't I?
Fooled you this time, I, I fooled (Fooled you)
I fooled you, girl (Fooled you)
I'm willing to step this over (Over)
Woah, it's over baby, yes, it's over (Baby)
[Outro]
Woah lord (Over)
Oh lord (Over)
Now, now, now, now, now
