Al Jackson Jr - Im Afraid The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics

Act I

[Refrain: David Porter & The Sweet Inspirations]
Afraid the masquerade is over
Afraid the masquerade is over

[Verse 1: David Porter, (The Sweet Inspirations)]
Girl, I'm so afraid
'Cause your eyes
Don't shine
Like they used to...
Like they used to, used to shine

Girl! (The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone)
Oh, the thrill is gone (Gone)
When your lips...
When your lips meet mine

[Chorus]
Girl – I'm afraid! (I'm afraid, I'm afraid)
The masquerade (I'm afraid, I'm afraid the masquerade is over)
Oh, girl, it's over
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... (Over)

[Refrain: David Porter & The Sweet Inspirations]
Afraid the masquerade is over
Afraid the masquerade is over
[Verse 2: David Porter, (The Sweet Inspirations)]
Ooh, girl, I can see it now
'Cause your words...
Oh, your words don't mean
What they used to...
What they used to, used to mean

They were once... (It was time to go, a long time ago)
Oh, a long time ago (Ago)
They used to inspire me
Now they're just...
Said, they're just... the same old routine

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah – I'm afraid! (I'm afraid, I'm afraid)
The masquerade (I'm afraid, I'm afraid the masquerade is over)
Lord, it's over
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah... (Over)

Act II

[Verse 3]
I guess I'll have to learn to laugh, like Bozo the clown
And get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like clowns do
With tears (Tears)...
Tears (Tears)...
All in my eyes (Tears)
Ohhh (I'm afraid the masquerade...)
[Verse 4]
Girl, you look good (It's over!)
Oh, you look the same
Hey, you're a lot...
Keep a lot...
A whole lot the same

Oh, but my heart says no (Heart says no, heart says no)
Oh, my heart just says no (No)
No, you're not...
Said, you're not...
Baby, you're not the same

[Chorus]
And I'm so afraid! (I'm afraid, I'm afraid)
Oh, the masquerade (I'm afraid, I'm afraid the masquerade is over)
Oh, it's over
One more time, yeah yeah, yeah... (Over)

Act III: Interlude

[David Porter, spoken]
Oh, you see, my darling?
When love ceases to be warm
When the heat from your kisses can no longer be felt
That time says that it's over
That time says that it's no more
Oh yes, I love you, oh yes, I need you
But I don't need the changes
Oh, I've got to get my hat
I've got to leave you now
I've got to go
[Female response, also spoken]
I know we've been through changes
But, sometimes, it takes changes
To build a strong love
And strong love just can't be broken
I have strong love for you, David
But if what you're saying is what you feel
Then you can have your way
And I won't go any place our paths might cross
But just remember this –
As long as you live and breathe
I love you, David
I really love you

[David Porter, spoken]
Baby, it's no fun saying goodbye to someone as beautiful as you
It's no fun saying that it's over to someone that I need as bad as I need you
But, I know, within my soul and in my mind, that it's got to be
You see, because, your heart and your time is not all mine
And I've got to face it right now
And I hang my head in tears when I say these words to you
I fight the pain when I say these words to you
Oh, my baby, oh, my baby –

Act IV: Bridge

[Chorus: David Porter, (The Sweet Inspirations)]
It's over! (Over)
My, my, my good thing is over (Over)
The masquerade is over (Over)
Woah woah, Lord, it's over (Over)

[Bridge]
I can't find my way without you
It's over, girl
'Cause I can't see you...
I can't see you when I want to
Once I told ya, you were my water
But you've turned into sand
And now it's – over (Over)
Over (Over!)
Got to, got to, got to be – oh, Lord!

It's over (Over!)
And I'm not laughing! (The masquerade)
I know it's over (The masquerade)
I'm so lonely... (Over!)

I can't beg you to come back, girl
'Cause you told me – one, two, three, four, five, times
That you'd – never...
Never... never

Oh, Lord!

Act V

What can I do? (What can I do?)
What can I do now? The masquerade is over (What can I do?)
I hurt you, then you hurt me (You'll end up hurting me)
We won't hurt each other no more (You'll end up hurting me!)

Come back! (Come back!)
Come back! (Come back!)
We used to play just like that, girl

But, no more! It's over
Got to, got to tell ya – that it's over

I know what you're trying to be –
Here when I want to see you, you again
'Cause I know we're gonna play, girl
We're just playing parts, we're gonna play

Act 1!

Act VI

Ooh! No
Ooh – good lord...
Uh! Ah yeah
Huh, huh, huh...
Haa, haa, huh-haa...

Fooled you this time, didn't I? (He just be foolin')
Fooled you this time, didn't I? (He just be foolin')
Fooled you this time, didn't I? (He just be foolin')
Fooled you this time (He just be foolin')
I, I fooled... (Fooled you!)
I fooled you, girl (Fooled you!)
I'm willing to set this over (Over)
Woah, it's over, baby! (Over)
Yes, it's over! (Baby)

Woah, lord (Over)
Yeah! Oh, lord (Over)
My, my, my, my, my, my...
My long masquerade is over (Over... over)
Girl, it's over right now, it's over right now! (Over)
No more! (Over)
It's no more! (Over)
Got to, got to be – over...
