Marvin Gaye The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics

The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics

Your eyes don't shine like they used, like they used to shine

And the thrill is gone, gone, when your lips meet mine



I'm afraid the masquerade is over, over, over

And so is love, my darling and so is love



Your words don't mean what they used, what they used to mean

They were once inspired, now they're just routine



I'm afraid, oh the masquerade is, it's all over, it's all over

And so is love, and so is love



I guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise

And learn, learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes



You look, oh baby, you look the same

You're a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, the same

But my heart says "No, no, no, no, no, you are not the same"



And I'm afraid, I'm afraid the masquerade, oh it's all over, over, oh

And so is love, and so is love, love, love, love

So is love, oh the masquerade is all over

So, so is love
