The Actress  

Intro:
          
Oooo oooo ooo
 

Well, you should be an actress 
                      
You play your part so well 
Your act is so believeable
		     	 
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 
                        
And 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 emotions 
You'd 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
