Parade

You know it's true we're both the same In a storm of words we get lost in what is said You know me and you see through me So why are you confused by the things I say and do? Do you know me? You see the strain upon my face Please, don't rain on my parade It comes too light, it comes in waves It's gone too late It goes astray, it goes too far and you say It's clear I know where all your buttons are It's not so strange, you know, it's not so queer That I know they're there cause I'm the one Who put them there, exactly as you feared I know you and I see though you So why am I surprised by the things you say and do? I don't know why I see the strain upon your face I won't rain on your parade It comes too light it comes in waves It's gone too late Don't steal the smile from off my face Please, don't rain on my parade It comes too light, it comes in waves It's gone too late I know that I can't replace you And it would be a lie to say that I could ever try Don't steal the smile from off my face Please, don't rain on my parade It comes too light, it comes in waves It's gone too late You see the strain upon my face Please, don't rain on my parade It comes too light, it comes in waves It's gone too late It's gone too late It cuts two ways It cuts two ways It's gone too late
