[Verse 1] When my baby lied to me Feel like the circus is in town [Verse 2] Yeah, when she says she's working late, I know she ain't Feel like the circus is in town [Verse 3] 'Cause all my friends, they'll laugh at me Say, "Buddy, she's treating you like a clown" [Verse 4] Well, I'm sleeping on a tightrope Underneath a pitch black tent [Verse 5] I hear all manner of animal sounds Tangled in my sheets, all soaking wet [Verse 6] That 3 AM when she dips her toes in, I fall But there ain't no safety net [Chorus] Y'all circus blues [Verse 7] Well, I guess it's plain to see That I got them circus blues [Verse 8] Those barkers keep calling you, baby, I know your evil ways That's why my head's all wrapped in blues [Verse 9] Well, there's three rings and a lion growling at me While the tamer's sweet talking you [Chorus] Y'all circus blues [Instrumental]
