  1. Of all the love I have won or have  lost.     There is one  love I should never have crossed.
  2. Although I laugh and I act like a clown.      Beneath this mask, I am wear - ing a   frown.
  3. What have I done to deserve such a fate.      I   re  –  al -  ize,    I have left    it   too  late.

  1. She was a    girl in a mill-ion, my friend.     I should have     known, she would win in the end.
  2. My tears are falling  like rain from the sky. Is it        for        her,       or   my – self  that I cry.
  3. And so it’s true pride comes before a fall.    I’m telling         you,          so that you won’t lose all.
