[Verse 1]
Last night you rolled into town
And you asked me to go one more round
And I want to, but I know that I'm just your sideshow
And the big top; it always comes down

[Chorus]
It's time that I wake up and wipe off this makeup
It's only a fool could take up with some clown
On a tightrope, in a tight dress, but it all seems worthless
'Cause just like the circus, you always leave town

[Verse 2]
You say what I wanna hear
But then you always disappear
You're the ringleader, but there's no ring on my finger
You're nothin' but smoke and mirrors

[Chorus]
So it's time that I wake up and wipe off this makeup
It's only a fool could take up with some clown
On a tightrope, in a tight dress, but it all seems worthlеss
'Cause just likе the circus, you always leavе town

[Outro]
I'm gonna takе off this tight dress and learn how to hurt less
'Cause just like the circus, you always leave town
