 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.
