Masquerade - Evelyn Thomas

I don’t know what I do, babe

I reach out to you and I hope

That you’ll help me to be a success

I can’t handle it if you’re nor there

I couldn’t settle for less

'Cause I need somebody special

To help me enjoy all the fame

Someone to help me face the crowds

Who loves me for more than my name

Masquerade

It would be a masquerade

I would be so afraid

If you weren’t there to help me share

You’ve been around to all the bad times

When I couldn’t pay the rent

Now things are different

I want you here while the money’s around to be spent

'Cause you deserve to share with me

All magic life has to give

I want you here right by my side

We only have one life to live

Masquerade — it would be a masquerade

I would be so afraid

What good success if you’re out of there on your own?

What good is money if you’re spending it alone?

What good is fame when there’s strangers in the crowd?

What good is talent if you’re crying out loud?

When I’m giving interviews

And they ask me how I became a star

I tell them all about your help

Without you I couldn’t go far

'Cause you are my guiding light

To deal with the problems around

My life is resting in your hands

And I can feel safe and sound

Repeat Chorus
