Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
And so is love, and so is love.

Your words, they don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over (Oh, it's over, baby)
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 to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
You look, you look the same
You're a lot, you're still the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade is over, baby. (Oh, it's over)
And so is love, and so is love, and so is love.

You look, you look the same
You're a lot, you're a lot the same
But my heart says "No, no, you're not the same"
I'm afraid the masquerade, the masquerade is over, baby.
And so is love, and so is love, and so is love.
