Lyrics (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over (Live At The Regal Theater, Chicago/1962) - Stevie Wonder

Your eyes don't shine like they used, like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone, oh it's gone
When your lips meet mine
And I'm afraid the masquerade is over, oh over, over
And so is love oh yeah
And so is love, yeah

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

You look, you look the same
You're a lot, the same
But my heart says "No, no, no, no, no
No you're not the same"

And I'm afraid, the masquerade, is over, all over oh
And so is love, and so is love, And so is love, yeah
And so is love yeah!
Its love, oh
It's so, it's love
