Catch my eyes, take my hand Pull me in, hold me close Behind this mask I pretend In this life, no one knows Masquerade, masquerade This ain't nothin' but a Masquerade, masquerade Masquerade, masquerade This ain't nothing but a Masquerade, masquerade I close my eyes ever so briefly Will this day never end quickly I know I have chosen this path Could i have faced less wrath! My day is over let the evening begin. I question is my mask a sin This ain't nothin' but a Masquerade, masquerade Masquerade, masquerade This ain't nothing but a Masquerade, masquerade Facing the mirror I am full of questions Can someone out there listen to my confession? I put my pretty dress and mask on To the dancing music I am drawn This ain't nothin' but a Masquerade, masquerade Masquerade, masquerade This ain't nothing but a Masquerade, masquerade I lay in my bed the night is done My mask still firmly on Others lives I don't judge Your own mask I won't smudge
