Verse 1:
Baby, although I chose this lonely life,
It seems it s strangling me now.
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars;
They re all laughing at me now.
Chorus 1:
Oh, I ve been used, oo-ooh,
I ve been taken for a fool, oh, what a fool.
I broke all the rules... ooh, yeah,
But I, won t let the show go on.

Verse 2:
Baby, look there s an enormous crowd of people,
And they re all after my blood.
I wish maybe they d tear down the walls of this theatre,
And let me out, let me out.
Chorus 2:
Oh, I ve been so bli...ind, yeah,
I ve wasted time, wasted, wasted, oh, so much time.
Walking on the wire; high wire.
But I, won t let the show go on.

Chorus 3:
Oh, I ve been so blind, oh yes, I ve been so blind,

Verse 4:
Baby, I wish you d help me escape, and help me get away.
Leave me outside my address; far away from this masquerade.
Chorus 4:
I ve been so used, I ve been so a-bused,
I ve been a fool; I broke all the rules.
I ve been so used, oh, and a-bused.
But I won t let the show go... I said; I won t let the show,
Oh, won t let the show go on.
