Circus Lyrics - Kelis Was Here - Kelis

Come join our circus where we all wear masks 

Lie to our fans and expect it to last 

Could it be that the trick is on us? 

Masqueradin' like we are the ones 

Can you blame us? It started as fun 

Didn't know that the game must be won - sorry 

Never did I lie, never did I mean to trick y'all 

But they told me this is how to get rich, y'all 

Makin' hit songs, same lame lyrics, same bass, same kickdrum 

Buy the record, you became a vic-vic-victim 

Bitch can't front, get what I want 

Neck, hands & my wrists numb, sickenin? 

Diamonds on my wristband, who I'm talkin' to? 

You, you & my biggest fan, thinkin' that ya girl got it all 

And I got the best man, best hair, best legs, need a break, you in my face 

Askin' K what I'm puttin' out next year 

Is it gonna be real freaky, critics wanna come critique me 

Are you gonna be more grunge rock-n-roll like back when you dropped before? 

But get back 'fore I get ill 

Black glove, black mask, listen to some real black love 

It's all I have, it's all I have 

Come join our circus where we all wear masks 

Lie to our fans and expect it to last 

Could it be that the trick is on us? 

Masqueradin' like we are the ones 

Can you blame us? It started as fun 

Didn't know that the game must be won - sorry 

Musicians, magicians, tight rope, strobe lights 

Lion tamers, entertainers, sold out nights 

Dressin' rooms, costumes, who's doin' who, gossip, rumors 

Groupies just too much, everybody's like, "let's do lunch" 

That's why it doesn't matter, that's why I'm not a rapper 

Still spit a few bars, might never hear this song 

Label might say, "Hell naw! Get a new female star 

She don't have to sing - she don't have to bring anything!" 

Get her some new earrings, fly her off to Beijing 

Book her shows in Wyoming, David Letterman & Conan 

Your advance just alone and doesn't it all sound grand? 

Number one on SoundScan, just keep the clubs bouncin', join us 

Come join our circus where we all wear masks 

Lie to our fans and expect it to last 

Could it be that the trick is on us? 

Masqueradin' like we are the ones 

Can you blame us? It started as fun 

Didn't know that the game must be won - sorry 

How can I shake this circus clown? 

What does the ringmaster need from his crowd? 

Should I dive through the circle of fire? 

No - I'm just gonna be me! 

Come join our circus where we all wear masks 

Lie to our fans and expect it to last 

Could it be that the trick is on us? 

Masqueradin' like we are the ones 

Can you blame us? It started as fun 

Didn't know that the game must be won - sorry 

Can you blame us? It started as fun 

Didn't know that the game must be won - sorry
