Masquerade Is Over

by Philip Bailey

Lyrics
Your eyes don't shine
Like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone
When your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade
Is over, all 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 this masquerade
Is over, all over
And so is love, and so is love

Well I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tears in my eyes

You look the same, yes you look the same
But my heart says no
No, you're not the same

I'm afraid this masquerade
Is over, all over
And so is love, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And so is love
I'm afraid the masquerade
Is over, all over
And so is love
So is love
So, woohoo, is love

This masquerade
Is over and done
