The Circus Song (Can't Let Go) - Kim Richey

I remember way back when

The circus came to town

It was like nothing I had ever seen

Spun my head around

Maybe it was all those crazy lights

But I stepped right up and paid the price

Fool me once, that’s okay

Fool me twice, I like it that way

All those death-defying feats

Glued me to the edge of my seat

I can’t let go

No, I can’t let go

The car pulled up, and the clowns poured out

They put out the house of fire

And we held our breath while the man in the vest

Went dancing down the wire

Cotton candy, apple sweet

I can’t get enough of what’s bad for me, oh

Satisfaction guaranteed

By the greatest show on earth

Little dogs they danced around

Flying ladies, they never touched down

They can’t let go

No, they can’t let go

I’m saying I can’t let go

No, I can’t let go

Back around, I came back around

And all I found was an empty lot

And a ticket stub said «Thanks a lot.»

Thanks a lot

And when the circus blows through here next time

Bet I’ll be the first in line

'Cause I can’t let go

No, I can’t let go

I’m saying I can’t let go

No, I can’t let go

Mmmm… Aaaah …

No, I can’t let go, I’m saying I can’t let go

No, I can’t let go…
