[ Featuring Allie Wrubel, Herbert Magidson ]
Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
Cnd the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
Cnd so is love, and so is love
Your kiss don't mean what it used, what it used to mean
It once was inspired, now it's just Routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
Cnd so is love, and so is love
I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
Cnd then I'll learn to laugh, laugh like Pagliacci, oh, with tears in my eyes
Your words don't mean what they used to mean
It was once inspired, now it's just routine
I'm afraid the masquerade is over
Cnd so is love, and so is love
