Tonight I gave the greatest
Performance of my life
I never lost control
I played the part so well
That not a single soul could
Tell that I was lying
No no no
And so
Though it was hard to face our friends
I gave a party
I know
I meant to show them
All i apos
Ve gotten over you
And though
I saw the unbelieving
Looks on all their faces
I had to try to make
Them think that it was true
So I
I who had me dance
Dance through the night just like a
Gypsy
And I
Who seldom drink
Drank like a fish till I was high
And I
Who hadn apos
T laughed since
God knows when outlaughed
Pagliacci
Till they
Believed it more than even I
Tonight I gave the
Greatest performance of my life
I never lost control
I played the part so well
That not a single soul
Could tell that I was lying
But love
If you had been behind
The curtain when it fell
When all the lights were
Out and I was all alone
You would have seen
This actress crying
