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
It 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 throught 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
