You can leave now if you want to I'll still be around This parade is almost over And I'm still your clown I've been thinking How your smile seems to last forever Even if it's just a while We are there together There together With no promise of the future Am I not allowed To think kindly of a stranger Who reflects the sound Of my heartache As it's beating My life to the ground To the ground To the ground To the ground To the ground And I could still breathe for you Open up and scream for you Tell me what I wouldn't do Tell me that love isn't true Tell me that love isn't true Tell me that love isn't true I dare you to understand What makes me a woman What makes me a woman What makes me a woman I'd do anything To see it all The way that you do I'd do anything To see it all The way that you do But I'd be lying Baby But I'd be lying to you
