Masquerade

I don't know what I do, babe
I reach out to you and I hope
That you'll help me to be a success
I can't handle it if you're nor there
I couldn't settle for less
'Cause I need somebody special
To help me enjoy all the fame
Someone to help me face the crowds
Who loves me for more than my name

Chorus:
Masquerade
It would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid
If you weren't there to help me share

You've been around to all the bad times
When I couldn't pay the rent
Now things are different
I want you here while the money's around to be spent
'Cause you deserve to share with me
All magic life has to give
I want you here right by my side
We only have one life to live

Masquerade - it would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid

What good success if you're out of there on your own?
What good is money if you're spending it alone?
What good is fame when there's strangers in the crowd?
What good is talent if you're crying out loud?

When I'm giving interviews
And they ask me how I became a star
I tell them all about your help
Without you I couldn't go far
'Cause you are my guiding light
To deal with the problems around
My life is resting in your hands
And I can feel safe and sound

Repeat Chorus
