Lyrics

[Chorus] I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown [Verse 1] I could spend an hour on my makeup and my hair Shoes too tall, dress too small, and lacy underwear Go down to the bar, buy myself a drink Dangle there all perfect like a puppet on a string [Chorus] I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown [Verse 2] You got girls that sing and dance, I hear one's an acrobat You got 'em swinging from the chandelier Well, honey, I don't swing like that The main attraction's leaving, let the side show pay the rent Take this diamond back and you'll be two rings shy of the big top tent [Chorus] I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown Tiptoe 'cross the tight-rope, till you turn me upside down Cut the cable, pull the net, just to let me hit the ground I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
