Joe South the masquerade is over

Select language to translate this lyric

Pretend you're happy and you'll be that way
At least that's what I've heard some people say
The world's a stage and we're all part of the play
But when I played my card
I gambled with my heart
And when I lost and found that we would have to part
I fell apart like clay
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended
You played the part of the Lady Fair
You left, I let you go at more than I could bare
I wore the mask of the man who didn't care
And though I acted well
Still any fool could tell
That I was so in love with you and when I fell
You dropped a curtain there
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended
And though I acted well
Still any fool could tell
That I was so in love with you and when I fell
You dropped a curtain there
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended
And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Has ended
