Stevie Wonder - (I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over Lyrics

Stevie Wonder Lyrics

"(I'm Afraid) The Masquerade Is Over"

Your eyes don't shine like they used to shine
And the thrill is gone when your lips meet mine

And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Is over
And so is love, and so is love

Your words. They don't mean what they used to mean
They were once inspired, now they're just routine

I'm afraid
The masquerade
Is over
It's all over
And so is love, and so is love

Guess I'll have to play Pagliacci and get myself a clown's disguise
And learn to laugh like Pagliacci with tears in my eyes

You look
You look the same
You're a lot the same
But my heart says, "No, no. No. You're not the same."

And I'm afraid
The masquerade
Is over
Over
And so is love, and so is love, and so is love, and so is love
Yes
It's all over
And so is love
