Songtexte (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over - Single Version - Marvin Gaye

Your eyes don′t shine
Like they used, like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone, gone
When your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over, over, over
And so is love, my darling, and so is love
Your words don′t mean
What they used, what they used to me
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid oh the masquerade is, is over, is over
And so is love, and so is love
I guess I′ll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown′s disguise
And learn, learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look, oh baby
You look the same
You're a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot the same
But my heart says, "No, no, no, no, no, you are not the same"
And I′m afraid
Ah, I'm afraid the masquerade oh is all over, over, oh-oh-oh
And so is love, and so is love, love, love, love
So is love, oh
Oh-oh-oh, the masquerade is all over
So, so is love
