Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid that the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid that the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And build myself a clown's disguise
And then learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same
But no, you're not the same
But my heart cries, “no, no,
you're not the same”
I'm afraid that the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And build myself a clown's disguise
And then learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes
You look the same
But no, you're not the same
But my heart cries, “no, no,
you're not the same”
I'm afraid that the masquerade is over
You look the same
But no, you're not the same
But my heart cries, “no, no,
you're not the same”
I'm afraid that the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
