Well, you should be an actress, you play your part so well

Your act is so believable that no one else can tell

You say the lines, but I see that you don't really love me

You keep me around to be your faithful clown

Till someone you can love comes along

You'll keep on pretending because the show must go on

Yes, you should be an actress, as lovely as you are

The way you play on emotion, you'll shame the brightest star

You're acting all the time, no, you're not really mine

I'm just another scene in your play acting scheme

No, you don't love me at all

But when you walk away that's when the curtain will fall

But I'll go all the way to the end of the play

I'll be a part of your masquerade

Although, I know it may be the saddest show

In the life of a fool on parade
