Three Dog Night: The Show Must Go On lyrics

Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it\'s stranglin\' me now.
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic cars,
They\'re all laughin\' at me now.

Oh, I\'ve been used, Ooo-oo-oo-oo.
I\'ve been a fool -- Ah, what a fool.
I broke all the rules, oh, yeah,
But I must let the show go on.

Baby, there\'s an enormous crowd of people;
They\'re all after my blood.
I wish maybe they\'d tear down the walls of this theatre:
Let me out, let me out.

Oh, I\'m so blind, Oh, I\'m blind.
I wasted time --
Wasted, wasted, wasted time.
Walkin\' on a wire, high wire.
But I must let the show go on.

[instrumental break]

Oh, I\'m so blind, oh, I\'m blind.
I wasted time --
Wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walkin\' on a wire, high wire,
But I must let the show go on.

Baby, I wish you\'d help me escape
Help me get away.
Lead me outside by a jet,
Far away from this masquerade

\'Cause I\'ve been blind Oh, so blind
I wasted time --
Wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walkin\' on a wire, high wire,
But I must let the show go...
I must let the show go...
I must let the show go on.
