The Masquerade Is Over / Since I Fell for You
Bert Shefter, Buddy Johnson, S. Barzman (R&B), H. Smith (R&B)
Your eyes don't shine girl, like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid, afraid the masquerade is over
And so is our love, and so is love
Your words don't mean what they used to me
They used to be inspired, now they're just routine
Girl I'm afraid, I'm afraid our little masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love
You know sometimes I think I'll have to play Pagliacci
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci
With tеars all in my eyes
Baby you look, you sure look thе same
But you're not the same
This old heart of mine says "No, no man, the girl just ain't the same"
I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid our little masquerade is over
And so is our love, and so is love
