Aretha Franklin — The Masquerade Is Over

[Verse 1] Your eyes don’t shine like they used to shine And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine [Refrain] I’m afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love [Verse 2] Your kiss don’t mean what it used, what it used to mean It once was inspired, now it’s just another routine [Refrain] I’m afraid the masquerade is over And so is love, and so is love [Bridge] I guess I’ll have to play Pagliacci And get myself a clown’s disguise And then I’ll learn to laugh, laugh like Pagliacci Oh, with tears all in my eyes [Verse 3] Hey baby, your kiss don’t mean What it used, what it used to mean It once was inspired, now it’s just an everytime routine [Refrain] I’m so afraid the masquerade is over And so is love And so is love
