Your words don't mean what they used, what they used to mean
And so is love, and so is love, love, love, love
You're a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, the same
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
I'm afraid the masquerade is over, over, over
And I'm afraid, I'm afraid the masquerade, oh it's all over, over, oh
You look, oh baby, you look the same
But my heart says "No, no, no, no, no, you are not the same"
And learn, learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes
They were once inspired, now they're just routine
I'm afraid, oh the masquerade is, it's all over, it's all over
And so is love, my darling and so is love
So is love, oh the masquerade is all over
And so is love, and so is love
