Lyrics for Song: Circus
Lyrics for Album: Kelis Was Here [2006]
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
