The Show Must Go On Songtext
von Loleatta Holloway

I′ll put on my makeup
And face the guy again tonight
I'll make it very heavy, so he won′t see the tears I hide
For behind this smile, are the tears of a thousand cries
My heart is fragile now
And it's heard a thousand miles

I'll smile, for make-believes tends to ease the pain
I′ll laugh just to make the hurt go once again
The man is in my audience
But the vows he made with such ease
Has now turn to lilies
For now, he deceived me

But the show must go on
So the people can′t see
All the tears (all the tears)
And the plan (and the plan)
And the hurt (hurt)
And the pain (and the pain that lonely sent)
That lonely sent


Oh, hide the tears (hide the tears)
And the clowns (and the clowns)
And the hurt (hurt)
And the pain (and the pain that lonely sent)
That lonely sent

I would own the show like never before
I'm sure I′m gonna please him
Just once more, yeah, yeah, yeah
And he's gon′ ask for his loving back
It's gonna be the best show I′ve ever had
Ever before

The biggest night of a superstar
Here we all are, let's have a great big applaud for the king (for the king)
And the plan (and the plan)
And the hurt (hurt)
And the pain (and the pain that lonely sent)
That lonely, lonely sent

Oh, hid the tears (hid the tears)
And the plan (and the plan)
And the hurt (hurt)
And the pain (and the pain that lonely sent)
That lonely sent


Hmm, one could have a sell out track
If you want to get a standing ovation tonight
Oh, oh, oh
One could have a sell out track
If you want to get a standing ovation tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
One could have a sell out track
If you want to get a standing ovation tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah
