Leo Sayer - The Show Must Go On

(SINGING LIVE DRESSED AS A CLOWN)
Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it's strangling me now
All the wild men with big cigars and gigantic cars
There all laughing at me now
I've been so blind, so blind
Wasted my time, wasted so much time
Walking on the wire, high wire, yeah
But I wont let the show go on

Baby,look there's an enormous crowd of people
And they're all after my blood
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theater
And let me out...let me out
Oh, I've been so abused,so abused
i broke all the rules,i broke every single rule
oh iv been a fool oh what a fool
But I wont let the show go on

I've been so blind, so blind
Ive been so unkind,so so unkind
Wasting my time,wasting so much time
But I wont let the show go on

Baby, I wish you'd help me escape
And help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Far away from this masquerade
I've been so blind, so blind
Wasted my time, wasted so much time
Walking on the wire, high wire, yeah
But I wont let the show go
I said i wont let the show no
I said i wont let the show go on

This was one of my favorite Three Dog Night songs, after hearing the original, that I never knew there was, I cant even listen to the Three Dog Night cover again and enjoy it the same....

Pure genius. This man is so talented. Just A Boy is a wonderful masterpiece. They don't make performers and singers like this anymore !!

hoyt, leo, paul and randy just weren't pretty enough for the big time.

[cheechwizrd]

hey, everybody has the right to make their own choices .. even if they are wrong. nothin' wrong with three dog night that a little originality could't have changed. they were talented singers and, hey, the chick's dug em!

[TopGun8993]

I hear ya, I stand corrected. I do like 3 Dog Night's version better.

@TopGun8993 I know you've been informed by others but just in case there is any doubt. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL. Leo Sayer is an accomplished song writer whereas Three Dog Night were a 'karaoke' band specialising in other peoples songs notably 'Mama Told Me Not To Come' (Randy Newman), 'Joy To The World' (Hoyt Axton) amoung others.
