Circus
Kelis Song Lyrics

[Chorus]

Come join our circus where we all wear masks

Lying while our fans are expected to last

Could it be that the jig is on us?

Masquerading like we are the one

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 need a trick yall

But they told me this how they get rich yall

Make a hit song, same lame lyrics, same bass, same kickdrum

Buy the record you became a big big victim

Bitch can't front, get what I want, neck, hands and my wrist numb

Sick none, diamonds on my wristband

Who I'm talking to? you, you and my biggest fan

Thinking that ya girl got it all, and I got the best man, best hair, best legs

Need a break, you in my face, asking k, what I'm putting out next year

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

Are you gonna be more grunge, rock and roll like back when you dropped before

But get back, before I get ill

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

That's all I have, that's all I have

[Chorus]

Come join our circus where we all wear masks

Lying while our fans are expected to last

Could it be that the jig is on us?

Masquerading like we are the one

Can you blame us?

It started as fun

Didn't know that the game must be won...

Sorry

Musicians, magicians, tightropes, strobe lights, lion tamers, entertainers, sold out nights

Dressing rooms, costumes, who's doing 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 and conan

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

Number one on soundscan, just keep the clubs bouncing

[Chorus]

Come join our circus where we all wear masks

Lying while our fans are expected to last

Could it be that the jig is on us?

Masquerading like we are the one

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 this clown?

Should I dive through the circle of fire?

No... I'm just gonna be me

[Chorus]

Come join our circus where we all wear masks

Lying while our fans are expected to last

Could it be that the jig is on us?

Masquerading like we are the one

Can you blame us?

It started as fun

Didn't know that the game must be won...

Sorry
