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

[Refrain]
I’m afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

[Verse 2]
Your kiss don’t mean what it used, what it used to mean
It once was inspired, now it’s just another routine

[Refrain]
I’m afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Refrain]
I’m so afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love
And so is love
