Masquerade Songtext
von Evelyn Thomas

Oh, I don′t know what I'd do, baby
Yeah, boy
I don′t know what I'd do

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 not 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 crowd
Who'll love 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
Oh, I want you there
Yeah, yeah
Ooh wee, baby
Listen, baby


You've been around through all the bad times
When I couldn′t pay the rent
Now things are different and I want you here
While money's around to be spent
'Cause you deserve to share with me
All the 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
If you weren′t there to help me share

What good is success
If you′re out there on your own?
What good is money
When you're spending it alone?
What good is fame
When there′s strangers in the crowd?
Oh, what good is power
If you're crying out loud?

Masquerade
It would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid
If you weren′t there to help me share


Ooh, yeah
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, I want you there, baby
Ooh
I don't know what I′d do
Oh, I don't know what I'd do, baby

Oh, boy, don′t you know I don′t know what I'd do, do, do, do, do, do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Oh, I don′t know what I'd do, no, no

Ooh, oh
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
You know that it would be a masquerade
It would be a masquerade
I would be so afraid
If you weren't there to help me share

I need you, friend
