Tonight, I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
No, no, no
And so, though it was hard to face our friends, I gave a party
I know, I meant to show them all I'd gotten over you
And though, I saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces
I had to try to make them think that it was true
So I, I who hardly dance, danced through the night just like a gypsy
And I, who seldom drink, drank like a fish 'til I was high
And I, who hadn't laughed since God knows when, I laughed Pagliacci
'Til they believed it more than even I
Tonight, I gave the greatest performance of my life
I never lost control, I played the part so well
That not a single soul could tell that I was lying
But love, if you had been behind the curtain when it fell
When all the lights were out and I was all alone
You would have seen this actress crying
