Spotlight glaring down Silence from the crowd The circus is just beginning I tremble, looking around I would hate to fall and hit the ground In front of all these people That wouldn't be pleasant
So the music plays and the trapeze sways And my heart is beating faster, but all I hear is laughter from the crowd 'Cause they see right through my game
WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I GOTTA BE FOR YOU TO WANT ME, FOR YOU TO WANT ME, YEAH 'CAUSE I AM JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T LOVE ME, WHY YOU DON'T LOVE ME, FOR ME (THERE IS SOMEONE WHO LOVES YOU FOR YOU)
I keep lying to myself Trying to be somebody else In front of all these people I feel very foolish I'm the main attraction at the masquerade If I keep going like this I'm gonna go insane Is this circus act all I'll ever be? (yeah)
[refrain]
God loves you and me Let me tell you it's the kind of love that's given free And it doesn't fale, and it doesnt flake, and it doesnt play those games God loves you and me Let me tell you it's the kind of love it's real, it's true And it doesn't lie and it doesn't cheat after it sweeps you off your feet
SO JUST TELL ME WHAT I GOTTA BE FOR YOU TO WANT ME, FOR YOU TO WANT ME, YEAH 'CAUSE I AM JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON'T LOVE ME, WHY YOU DON'T LOVE ME FOR ME TELL ME WHAT I GOTTA BE FOR YOU TO WANT ME, FOR YOU TO WANT ME FOR ME, YEAH 'CAUSE I AM JUST PLAYING A LOSING HAND IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME, IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME FOR ME
Tell me what I gotta do Tell me what I gotta be All I really want is for you to love me for me God is someone who loves you for you
