Kelis - Circus Lyrics

Complimentary "Circus" Ringtone

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 kick drum 
Buy the record you became a vic-vic-victim 
Bitch can't front, get what I want 
Neck, hands and my wrists numb, sicknun' 
Diamonds on my wristband, who I'm talkin' to? 
You, you and 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 back when you dropped before 
But get back 'fore I get ill 
Black glove, black mask, this is just 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 no, 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 Bejing 
Book her shows in Wyoming, David Letterman and Conan 
Your advance just alone and doesn't it all sound grand 
#1 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
